the lines sinosauropteryx represent feathers

First, the author claims that these fine lined were formed after the animal's death. the professor opposes this and says that the animals that died and buried at the same area did not decomposed. The lecturer mentiones that
because of the volcanic ash their skin were well preserved, so the skin of sinosauropteryx was well preserved too. As a result, there was no fiber decompostion that caused these lines.
Second, the writer posits that these line may be remains of frills than of feathers. the lecturere refutes this and mentions that there is a chemical deffirence between frills and feathers. The professor explains that feathers contain beta-ceratin, however, frills do not have beta-ceratin. The listening adds that by examining fossils found that they have beta-ceratin so the lines reresent feathers.
Third, the reading condents that the feather located in postions that made them useless. The lecturer contradicts this and points that feathers could have another function.
