A fossil skeleton of a dinosaur called Sinosauropteryx, preserved in volcanic ash, was discovered in Liaoning, China, in 1996. Interestingly, the fossil included a pattern of fine lines surrounding the skeletal bones. Some paleontologists interpret the lines as evidence that Sinosauropteryx had feathers. However, critics have opposed the idea that Sinosauropteryx was a feathered dinosaur, citing several reasons.
The reading and lecture are both about Sinosauropteryx which was a fossil skeleton of the dinosaur. The author of the reading feels that the fossil that is covered with the bones may not the feather and represents some reasons for holding this aspect. The lecturer challenged the claim made by the author. He is on the opinion that critics presenting reasons are not convincing.
To begin with, the author argues that the fine lines are not the feather rather it is the skin of the dinosaur. He also claims that when the dinosaur was buried in the ground it decomposed and made those lines. The specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He mentions that scientists did not see any kind of decomposition around the site rather it was well preserved in ash. He also states that it may possibly the feather not the decomposition of fibres.
Second, the writer suggests that Sinosauropteryx structure could not provide proper evidence of which side of the body parts. He also additionally says that may be the part are fossilized frills. The lecturer rebuts this may mentioning that feather always contains great deals of protein and carotene. He also claims that but the fossil does not contain any protein and carotene and thus it can say that it is not a feather.
Third, the author posits that the feather is placed on the lower side of the body. As a result, it is useless for the animal to fly and control the internal temperature. In contrast, the lecturer position is that thermoregulation has normally displayed distinctive colourful feature like a peacock. He also noted that Sinosauropteryx proved that it has a different colour and used for display.
