Re: Larry Marten and Russians Discover Longisquama "Feathers"

I never meant to imply they did, and would actually prefer someone else does, based on Martin et al.'s interpretations of Archaeopteryx, Caudipteryx, etc.. But now that you mention it, it would be an obvious research route for MANIAC's to actually describe their 'avimorphs' in depth.

It's not like Larry and crew have the sole responsibility to refine the
description.
