Protopteryx
Flying
The body of Protopteryx was covered in three types of feathers:
down feathers, flight feathers, and long, ribbon-like tail
feathers. The body was mostly covered in feathers of about 12
millimetres (0.47 in). The barbs of the down feathers were laminar
instead of hairlike and were frayed at the tips. The most
distinctive feature of Protopteryx is that the tail consisted of
two long feathers which only had barbs
