Abstract
A semi-plume feather from the Nova Olinda Member of the Crato Formation (Aptian, Lower Cretaceous) of north-east Brazil is only the second feather reported from this remarkable lagerstatte. The new specimen is presumed to be preserved as an organic film in organic-rich, laminated limestones, and is from an unknown bird probably in the size range 150 to 300 mm.
