Description
A fibrous integument with properties intermediate between hair and feathers, seen on pterosaurs, typically on the wings/tail.
If a pterosaur is portrayed with fibrous integuments on the head closely resembling human hair, we can still generally assume that's non-mammal_hair, even if pycnofibres are also present.
