Plumage Color Patterns of an Extinct Dinosaur

Abstract

Dinosaur Plumage Coloration and appearance provide important behavioral and evolutionary information in animals. However, for the most part, we do not know the coloration of fossil terrestrial animals. Li et al. (p. 1369 , published online 4 February) have reconstructed the appearance of a theropod dinosaur by mapping features of its well-preserved feathers and comparing them with modern samples from birds. Feather color is partly determined by melanosome density and shape, and this information is preserved in a recently discovered fossil from China. The dinosaur was gray with white limbs and had a reddish crest and a speckled face.
