Carcharodontosaurus Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This is awesome. I wonder if they could do this with hadrosaurs and other dinosaurs with preserved skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE&i Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Excellent link it certainly helps me to paint a picture of my Ichthyosaur finds. I like this paragraph written by the study’s lead author, Johan Lindgren, a vertebrate palaeontologist at Lund University in Sweden. Lindgren said… “He favours a more monochromatic explanation, particularly for the ichthyosaur, which was deep-diving, where more uniformly dark coloration such as that of the sperm whale is more advantageous.” Regards, Darren. Regards.....D&E&i The only certainty with fossil hunting is the uncertainty. https://lnk.bio/Darren.Withers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
