In the set of material, both the reading and the professor discuss a fossil skeleton of a dinosaur called Sinosauropteryx, preserved in volcanic ash. The reading says that critics have opposed the idea that Sinosauropteryx was a feathered dinosaur , citing several reasons. Conversely the professor says that, the evedence of fossils represent feather are strong. But the reasons are unconvenient. He refutes each claim in the reading.
First, the reading says that, the critics points out that the fine lines may not even represent functional structures of a living dinosaur, but rather structures that were formed after the animal's death. But the professor says that, decomposition of any animal will not show evedence of skin structure that decompose to fiber, but preserved functional structure . furthermore, feather is not fiber that caused by decomposition.
Second, the reading states that, even if the fine lines are remains of real structures of a Sinosauropteryx, scintists cannot tell with certainty what part of the dinosaur's anatomy the structures were. However the professor says that feather is proten that contain keratin, but the frills is not contain keratin so they are different in material which they had,this leds the scintists to say that feathers are not frills.
Third, the reading argues that, a third objection is based on the fact that the usual functions of feathers are to help animals fly or regulate their internal temperature. But the professor says that ,there is other functions of feather for example the pica birds which use their colorful feather to attract mate. So the feather's function here is for displaying , structure will color orange. Feather in dinosaur is used for display
