## Abstract Feathers of today's birds are constructed of beta (β)‐keratins, structural proteins of the epidermis that are found solely in reptiles and birds. Discoveries of “feathered dinosaurs” continue to stimulate interest in the evolutionary origin of feathers, but few studies have attempted to

## Abstract This study shows that different patterns of scutate scale type beta keratins are accumulated in the three adjacent structures of the embryonic chick beak: periderm, egg tooth, and cornified beak. The cornified beak accumulates all of the beta keratins of scutate scale except pp2,3. The
