Sauropsid Plaques = NOT SCALES
They did not yet produce the Beta Ketarin proteins that produce scales OR feathers.
Theros in likely retained their plaques well past 200ma.
It's how you get late Cretacean scaled raptors despite them being a majority feathered clade. It's how the yuta in happened despite tyrannos being a majority scaled clade.
In all likeliness these sauropsid plaques disappeared among theropods somewhere between 200ma and 100ma from the evolutionary pressure of their specialized scaled and feathered descendants.
In conclusion:
* Anyone who says dinosaurs "lost" their feathers is an idiot who doesn't understand evolution of organs happens.
* Anyone who says dinosaurs started out with REPTILIAN SCALES is an idiot who doesn't understand how the biochemical qualities of reptilian scales wouldn't permit the development of feathers.
tl;dr fuck paleoschizo AND fuck TV archeologists who don't cross reference their finds with biology research and just pull shit out their ass
Of all the stupid shit, this is one of THE STUPIDEST bullshit """theories""" to come out of nufag paleontology.
>Oh yes, you see, amphibians (which don't exist) just sprouted feathers and then others just sprouted scales >Ignore the fact that feathers don't exist until the jurassic period and are only found in a small cluster of Theropods
I realize your generation is too retarded to understand this, but sometimes when two amphibians love each other very much, they produce a reptile. And reptiles had scales LONG before the split with Synapsids.
...there's an 100 million years gap between amphibians and sauropsids.
This non-reptilian bad boy here is from 300ma and is definitely not an amphibian.
And again this has nothing to do with the topic.
Back to grade school with you.
That's a reptile. Nobody cares if you cladist retards like it or not. Again, unless you're suggesting a polytomy directly from amphibians, the division between Sauropsida and Synapsida is just as illusory as all the other paraphyletic groupings you lose your shit over.
I'm seriously kekking irl at your idea that reptiles and amphibians are directly related.

It is my pleasure to inform you that early Synapsids had scales, just like early hurr durr "Sauropsids". My guess would be that early amphibians developed toadlike skins which keratinized into scales at some point when they permanently divorced from water. The split between Synapsid and Sauropsid almost certainly did not occur before the establishment of scaly reptiles.
it isn't rocket science. you need sauropsids to exist else you don't get dinosaurs
>It is my pleasure to inform you that early Synapsids had scales
It says right there on the paper posted that mammals have the same aminoacid base that led to the development of scales in modern reptiles without developing the mechanism that led to the tissue that creates modern scales. aka they have a common ancestors that wasn't scales.
>toadlike skins
toads are completely removed for the reptilian branch of the evolutionary tree you utter retard.
>almost certainly did not occur before the establishment of scaly reptiles.
Again, research into the protein makeup of reptiles and analysis of their in vitro development shows sauropsid scales can not be considered reptilian scales.

You NEED amniotes to happen for reptiles to happen because evolution doesn't happen in seconds. Amphibians and reptiles are simply too far apart on a biochemical level to descend directly from the other.

Feathers were basically just a small and medium sized theropod thing.
We're not even sure if all theropods came from the feathered ones. There could have been two lineages. Paleontologists love their hubris and trying to construct family trees when they've found a fraction of the number of species that would have likely existed based on the diversity we see today.
evolutionists in general >find the earliest animal that seems to be related to thing >THING EVOLVED FROM THIS! >meanwhile in the past >thing evolved from a distant cousin of that

>Species evolves intelligence >Makes industrial machinery and buildings from durable materials >Destroys it all and cremates all their dead just to fuck with schizos in millions of years
Seems likely
Feathered Theropods are a small branch of Theropods that started in the Jurassic. Scales is the initial state, not feathers. I can't believe I have to keep repeating this about fucking reptiles.
Scales is absolutely the initial state of all dinosaurs. Feathers evolved from scales. BUT ALSO, feathers are able to evolve into scales. AND, most importantly, there is clearly an entire line of theropods that NEVER ONCE HAD FEATHERS, ANYWHERE, and we are just missing their ancestor, because if this does not exist T-rex did what birds did to their legs across its entire body without one transitional form found.
The PGF film was absolutely bullshit. Their "unique bigfoot gait" walked like a fat man struggling with ankle braces and doing a monkey impression. The "bigfoot proportions" are explained by a common fursuit making trick - false joints - which are only revealed by extreme movements, which they avoided. It was also made by homosexuals who were trying to make a living off bigfoot. A labor of love but definitely a hoax.

It literally is. Specialization of organs into exclusive functions as a driving factor in evolution is a well attested mechanism, visible in both the saurian fossil record and modern fossil records.
A much better attested example? Eyes
The primitive version that still exists in some fishes specialized in into a plethora of forms that can no longer take back lost functions.
It is the same with skin plaquettes. Theropod, better said early sauropsid skin, was unspecialized like fish eyes and could mutate into both early feathers and early scales.

These specialized into scales and feathers depending on the evolutive branch they follow. Reptiles developed scales, herviborean saurians developed scales, theropods were in a position to develop not only both but raptors had basically the entire spectrum of feather evolution coexist until the meteor. meaning they really didn't specialize until the late jurassic give or take.

Feathered Theropods are a small branch of Theropods that started in the Jurassic. Scales is the initial state, not feathers. I can't believe I have to keep repeating this about fucking reptiles.
Why shouldn't anatomy take different paths of development in evolution? Paleoconservatives like you people say that the loss of feathers on the legs of ostriches in the form of nakedness must mean feathers cannot become scales once again, but seeing the different anatomical solutions taken by modern animals, I don't think that's a valid enough reason to discredit the idea.
God damn featherfags are retarded. If feathers are the default status for archosaurs, and scales re-evolved in every single dinosaur line except for coelurosaurs and a smattering of Ornithischians if you squint really hard and make shit up, then why have birds never been able to do it one time? Even if anyone grants you the retarded proposition that bird feet scales are derived from feathers (they're absolutely not), why nowhere else on the body? 66 million fucking years and they've never done it once? I thought it was easy and the majority of dinosaurs managed it?
you're entirely right and in complete agreement with modern paleontologists
except this >(they're absolutely not)
the thing you're too stupid to realize is that if you agree with 450 paleontologists and disagree with 200 paleontologists, and they're all the same paleontologists, that doesn't make them wrong.
it only makes you wrong.
Or, most of the planet is full of retards and most experts are frauds. Every STEMfag is such a genius that the entire world is going to hell in a handbasket. You might even argue that it's because they don't have enough control over society. Then you see soientists say what they'd actually do to the world if given the power and the only reason we're not lynching them en masse is because they're already at the bottom of the totem pole.
The fact is, the majority is usually wrong. Almost always, in fact. But physical evidence doesn't give the slightest shit about opinion. If you're too blind to see fucking scale imprints in a sedimentary rock, no amount of bullshit modernist posturing will make the rock wrong and you right.

Again, this doesn't mean what you think it means. Theropods weren't magical Schrodinger's birds. Feathers came after scales.
Yes feathers evolved from a more primitive scale. This is well known. AFAIK feathers did not occur in a lot of fucking dinos, mostly just theropods. Feathered sauropods didn't happen.
and its glaringly obvious that there was an entire lineage of theropods that don't and feathers are not basal to all theropods, or we need to start calling a lot of theropods something else
>Yes feathers evolved from a more primitive scale.
no, that's now how common ancestors work.
A primitive ape is not a homonid.
A primitive monkey is not an hominidae.
They are their own thing. Calling them early core-box plaquettes scales is flat out mistaken.
I think you simply don't know what scales are or how the work in modern reptiles and are extending their qualities to primitive-ass saurians out of ignorance.
don't worry despite all this they still look greenish. protein make up didn't really change.
nothing undergoes evolution because it's not real, natural selection only selects from existing information, that's not evolution
*laughs in mutated DNA expressions*
mutations are harmful and "more time" isn't a magic wand especially when considering hereditary mutations. you will never evolve into a god
Why shouldn't anatomy take different paths of development in evolution? Paleoconservatives like you people say that the loss of feathers on the legs of ostriches in the form of nakedness must mean feathers cannot become scales once again, but seeing the different anatomical solutions taken by modern animals, I don't think that's a valid enough reason to discredit the idea.
God damn featherfags are retarded. If feathers are the default status for archosaurs, and scales re-evolved in every single dinosaur line except for coelurosaurs and a smattering of Ornithischians if you squint really hard and make shit up, then why have birds never been able to do it one time? Even if anyone grants you the retarded proposition that bird feet scales are derived from feathers (they're absolutely not), why nowhere else on the body? 66 million fucking years and they've never done it once? I thought it was easy and the majority of dinosaurs managed it?
you're entirely right and in complete agreement with modern paleontologists
except this
>(they're absolutely not)
the thing you're too stupid to realize is that if you agree with 450 paleontologists and disagree with 200 paleontologists, and they're all the same paleontologists, that doesn't make them wrong.
it only makes you wrong.
Or, most of the planet is full of retards and most experts are frauds. Every STEMfag is such a genius that the entire world is going to hell in a handbasket. You might even argue that it's because they don't have enough control over society. Then you see soientists say what they'd actually do to the world if given the power and the only reason we're not lynching them en masse is because they're already at the bottom of the totem pole.
The fact is, the majority is usually wrong. Almost always, in fact. But physical evidence doesn't give the slightest shit about opinion. If you're too blind to see fucking scale imprints in a sedimentary rock, no amount of bullshit modernist posturing will make the rock wrong and you right.
again, you're right about everything
except your failure to recognize that you are one of the retards
just because the majority is retarded doesn't mean mindlessly contradicting them makes you smart. You're a great example. You're often correct AND you're a drooling fucking idiot.
>You're right, but you're still stupid!
Ok
you got it
If the public is usually wrong about science,
and you disagree with the public
you're just mindlessly agreeing with science
you become the "accept the science" NPC that you constantly deny being. You're not an independent thinker, you don't think at all. You mindlessly react and your reaction usually puts you squarely on the side of the scientist you think you hate.
>except coelurosaurs
They would have to reevolve in coelurosaurs too, because T.rex is scaled and also a coelurosaur.
Dear lord it's more retarded than I could have ever imagined. There are so many logical hurdles you have to clear to even arrive at a fucktarded conclusion like that.
>We're not even sure if all theropods came from the feathered ones.
whatever 250ba theropods had could hard be called feathers. would have been almost indistinguishable from insect like hairs
