I actually have been confused about the structure of a wing on a mantiraptoran. It would be appreciated if people could tell me the structure of the feathers on the wing an how they are arranged. Actually, what would be more helpful is people could provide pictures of the wings structure.

Any help will be appreciated, pictures or text!  ;)

"A is Anchiornis, B is Archaeopteryx, and C is Eoconfuciusornis. Deinonychosaurs probably had some sort of intermediate between A and B, which, while not exactly wings just like those of modern birds, are still wing-like, and thus would be perfectly fine to stick on a Utahraptor." Found this awhile back on tumblr.
