The reading and the lecture are about a dinosaur skeleton fossil founded in China. The author of the reading provides three hypotheses to prove that Sinosauropteryx had not feather. However, the lecturer of the audio refutes those rationals and states three opposite assumptions for it.

First of all, the reading claims that the fine lines might be formed during the volcanic activity, so these lines did not indicate that Sinosauropteryx was a feathered dinosaur. The professor rebuts this point by saying that there was no such indication found to other animal fossil but this fossil. He also states that volcanic activity acted alternately to preserve feather allusion. As a result, these fine lines imply that Sinosauropteryx had feathers.

secondly, according to the writing, since many animals fossil showed such fine line because of their frill, these lines might be for frill of their body. On the other hand, the lecturer posits that even though there is a similarity between frill and feather, unlike feather, fossils of frill do not have beta-carotene which is the main chemical composition of a feather. Moreover, the fossil of that animals has beta-carotene. So, this indicates that these fine lines are a frill.

Thirdly, the writer avers that location of the fine line on the body of Sinosauropteryx indicates that those part did not have any function for the animal by resembling with other species. Conversely, the professor states that the location of feather does not indicate that those had not any function, rather these had some specific function; display function. He further informs that some bird-like pick crews have the same feather at their tails to display themselves. So, these fine line must be the main part of their body.
