:
I tried to figure out what it was you were referencing, and all I could really dig up was an original article from 2000. But then I found this which seems like bad news. Especially because I was excited by your post. So hopefully I'm in the wrong corner of the internet and you can point me in the right direction. |
I honestly couldn't tell you. Last I heard, the heart was legit. I used to belong to a forum for paleontologists and paleo-artists, but I haven't spoken to them in years, otherwise I'd ask them. If the heart wasn't a heart, then that's that.
Also, they found that
-psittacosaurus had quills along its flank and tail
-Velociraptor had feathers (at least long primary feathers attached to its arm bone)
-Small ornithopods developed feather-like quills on their body. Not sure which species, but it's interesting because we weren't sure if they were feathered or not.
I'm more in tune to the whole "dinosaur/bird link" aspect of paleontology.
