Additional information on the primitive contour and wing feathering of paravian dinosaurs

Identifying feather morphology in extinct dinosaurs is challenging due to dense overlapping of filaments within fossilized plumage and the fact that some extinct feather morphologies are unlike those of extant birds or those predicted from an ‘evo‐devo’ model of feather evolution. Here, we compare a range of dinosaur taxa with preserved integumentary appendages using high‐resolution photographs to better understand fossil feather morphology and...
