In painting feathers, you want to create the look of feathers, but if you try to paint all the feathers, you have nothing but disaster.
John O'Neill
We have no evidence of feathers in this species. But there is evidence of feathers in another primitive tyrannosaur. We are fairly confident that it did have feathers.
James Clark
It is the third to be found, but the first one that has shown feathers identical to the ones in modern birds. They were probably present on some of those in the past, but the feathers weren't preserved well enough to be able to see the fine structure. On this latest one, feathers are found all over the fossil, and they are best preserved on the back edge of the forearms and hind limbs.
Mark Norell
There are some mature birds that have short beards from a lack of melanin that makes the beard weak and it will break. The best method is to wait and see the bird in full strut. If his fan (tail feathers) form an even-edged circle, then he's mature. If there are shorter feathers on the edges of the fan with taller feathers in the middle, then it's a jake.
James Austin
