    I’m doing reading on dino colours and paleos have found melanosomes in some fossil skin and feathers and can tell what colours and what patterns in markings.

    Archeopteryx is black like a raven!! Many dinos are brown or grey for camouflage.

    In some eras the sky was greenish and the sea was luminescent yellow.

      Bloody Ace! That hasn’t trickled down to the docos I’ve seen yet. Might do a paper dive one lunch soon.
