Re: Archaeopteryx- most likely fraud, if not, still not transitional
sure we do. people just make a lot of fuss about archaeopteryx as if it's the only dinosaur with feathers. ask any competent paleontologist, and they'll tell the odds are that every theropod dinosaur had feathers. certainly all the ones we've found with skin impressions do.
Re: Archaeopteryx- most likely fraud, if not, still not transitional
The preserved skin portions are on the legs and the underside of the tail, which are not exactly places where feathers need to be. Now, if skin impressions were found on the arms or back, then it would be a reasonable assumption that Juravenator was featherless.
Indeed.
But, Arachnophilia stated all the skin impressions we had showed feathers. This is not so.
I think the most parsimonious explanation is that Juravenator has undergone selective feather loss across some parts of its body and a more complete skin print would reveal this.
But I also think it's important to differentiate between what we can observe and what we can deduce.
