- Since Pterosaurians are triassic and the Archæopteryges jurassic we are justified in regarding the actual chronology of external integument in the geological strata as?:?first, scale?;?second, hair?;?and third, feather.?This inspires us to make a wider appeal to geology in order to have a comprehensive sketch of the avian sequence.
