fossilized6s Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 It seems as though Alberta has all of the goodies. I think i need to start practicing my "hay'dares" and "ho'dares", and learn to drink my milk from a bag.

izak_ Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Very cool! I am thinking how the feathers got trapped in amber. Maybe a dinosaur ran past a tree and some of its feathers god stuck in the leaking amber. Thanks so much for sharing!
jpc Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 JP, Yes, ... the page asked me to subscribe or register for free... login.jpg Regards, Interesting... I am not a subscriber to Science, but I never even saw that page. I bet my college library access is doing me a favor here without my knowing it. Anyway, the printed version I found did a bad job of printing the last line on each of the sources, so yours might be the way to go. Thanks for this.
Ludwigia Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Fascinating! Thanks for the links! Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/
Doctor Mud Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Wow! Thanks for sharing. A very significant event in paleontology. I noticed that they screened 4000 pieces of amber to find the precious feather inclusions - patience certainly had its rewards! I liked the other paper in the PDF on using trace metals as a step towards inferring pigmentation in fossil feathers.
Fossildude19 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Glad everyone is enjoying this article.

DE&i Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Science never ceases to amaze....just showed the link's to my fossiling partner. I can hear his brain whirring away. I'm just awaiting now for the..."but how" question to follow. Regards, Darren. Regards.....D&E&i The only certainty with fossil hunting is the uncertainty. https://lnk.bio/outfossiling
