 Earth Sciences\nNatural History Museum of LA County\n\n \n\nHigh fidelity 
 dinosaur feather preservation revealed by micro-CT imaging rare and over-l
 ooked fossils\n\nAll MIC users\, USC faculty\, researchers\, students and 
 staff are invited!\n\nRSVP to Linda De Marco at demarco@med.usc.edu by May
  7\, 2019\n\nSummary: Recent advances in the field of feather research hav
 e revealed much about the microstructural and three-dimensional components
  of modern feathers\, as well as the genetic and molecular signaling that 
 controls their morphogenesis. The origin of feathers has been informed by 
 a growing number of well-preserved fossils\, largely preserved as compress
 ion fossils in rare and temporally sporadic lake deposits. These fossils d
 isplay informative macro structures of feathers such as the main supportin
 g rachis and branching barbs but features in the microstructural range (10
 -100 µm) are difficult to interpret with this mode of fossilization. This
  study utilizes exceptionally preserved feather specimens from Cretaceous 
 amber and coprolites scanned at the Keck Molecular Imaging Center. A combi
 nation of optical and micro CT imaging reveals three-dimensional contiguou
 s macro to nanoscale structures\, some reported for the first time from th
 e Mesozoic. The preservation of morphogenetically informative feather char
 acters in amber and coprolites at multiple scales can provide insight into
  extinct and extant feather development.
