 A couple of days ago, Doc Holtz wrote: "Since tyrannosaurs lie below the
node for which Stage 3 feathers are synapomorphic, it is as likely they had
only Stage 2 feathers (tufts of unbranched barbs attached to a calamus)."
Where does Eotyrannus fit in to this? Does anything about it's phylogenetic
position preclude the possibility of Stage 3 feathers?
