T. Rex is closely related to dinosaurs with feathers.
T. Rex is descended from clades that contained feathers.
Either complex integument randomly arises, out of thin air, or t. rex has some residual, vestigial feather remnants poking out of some part of its body and the coin sized patches simply lacked them because micro-fuzz fossilizes like ass.
Now, shouldn't you be misrepresenting some data?
Is it time for the infographic where you pretend the coin sized skin impressions from 5 different species actually came from vast swaths of one individual, as if we have 80% of a T. Rex hide, and it's not just that different species had sparse fuzz in different locations?
