That article made me vomit inside. I mean specimens are known of Carnotaurus' skin from almost every part of its body. And what do the show? Scales! Not feathry Mr Fluffy-kins as Cau seems to be projecting. Now I'm not saying that no Carnotaurus had feathers. I for one agree with Holtz in that perhaps baby Carnotaurus had some protofeathers to aid in insulation
Dude, you might not like/agree with the article, but this is a bit exagerate reaction.
Well I do suffer from a condition where all emotions are in high gear.
I'm going to stop you right there before you try and use a condition to justify yourself.

@PrimevalBrony: not sure it works that way, if a dinosaur had feathers it would probably have had them for life.
Not true. After all, elephant babies are very hairy, whereas adults are not too hairy at all
Quick heads up here, adult elephants are actually quite hairy.

It's actually more an illusion due to the pattern and texture of their skin, it all seems as if they're devoid of hair, while the reality is quite different.

Here's a nice comparison of Asian vs African elephant body hair. The hairs are shorter, which gives the illusion they're not hairy, but they're still mostly covered in hairs. These are used as "rods" to cool down the skin and blood of the animals.

Not that the argument that dinosaurs who had feathers as a young and scaly reptilian scales has ever been supported by any real evidence or biological sense, but I just wanted to point out the misconception on elephants and their "bald" skin :P

Well does the addition in that I've been bitter recently justify it more?

PrimevalBrony, I would suggest you think about what you want to post and make sure it couldn't sound rude/exagerate/whatever to others before posting it. This would save everyone discussions like this.
Now I'd appreciate if we got back to the original topic subject.

what exactly happened to the scale impressions? are they locked away in a private collection or lost like a certain 180 ft sauropod?
