Colors of two dinosaur species reveled!

I need to learn more about the dino-bird link.

Dinos have come a long way from the slow, fat green lizards of the early 20th century.
 
Wow. It's nice to see a bit more reality than the plain, scaly monsters as they've been presented for decades.

It's been pretty neat to see the perception of them change over the course of my lifetime.

This is extremely beautiful--I hope that soon we'll get to see more! :)

How interesting that you have suddenly become a champion of the impoverished.

I always have been one. I stand proudly on my record of support for social services.

Which is fine, but we're talking National Geographic, graduate students, British paleontologists and a Chinese institute, not the Salvation Army's science wing.

If everyone had attitudes like that we would all be gathered around a camp fire wearing ill fitted skins and eating meat from animals that had been taken down with sharpened sticks!
 
Wow, interesting.

God, how I wish I had a time machine to go back and see how they really did look and behave.

Left-field much?

I think it's pretty cool. It adds to the "realism." It would interesting to see what data they need to extrapolate the colors of some of the more well known species.

So your position is that people with a passion for paleontology should not be allowed to work in a field related to their interest, or at the least, should not be allowed to make a living doing so?
