A BBC report states:'A team of scientists from China and the UK has now revealed that the bristles of this 125-million-year-old dinosaur were in fact ginger-coloured feathers.
The researchers say that the diminutive carnivore had a "Mohican" of feathers running along its head and back. It also had a striped tail.'
OH DEAR! NOT AGAIN!
Alan Feduccia of The University of N. Carolina explains using scientific method rather than pseudo-scientific wishful thinking:
'Even if the fossilised granules are melanosomes that does not prove the filaments on Sinosauropteryx were feathers. It is not pigment that makes feathers – it is the structure, and these pointed fibres simply do not have the structure of feathers. Feduccia and colleagues have closely studied this fossil and concluded that the filaments were collagen fibres, not feathers. There is no reason why melanosomes could not have coloured skin or skin-derived structures, just as they do in many kinds of living'

Evolutionary scientists leap once again to an unwarranted conclusion in their increasingly desperate attempts to prevent their so-called 'science' going completely down the toilet!
