Archaeopteryx lithographica isolated feather with a black coloration VOA report about the coloration of Psittacosaurus. Dinosaur coloration is generally one of the unknowns in the field of paleontology, as skin pigmentation is nearly always lost during the fossilization process.
This is the oldest evidence of human occupation of the Tibetan Plateau, and since the Xiahe mandible is the oldest human fossil from the region (though younger than the Quesang impressions), these may have been made by Denisovan children.
They restarted excavation of Longlin Cave in 2008, and yielded a few more human fossils, but most of the known material from the cave was recovered in the initial dig. In 2010, they were able to remove the rest of the skull and body fossils from the Red Deer Cave block. [4] The dating of the bones has led to confusion and division among ...
People first uncovered fossils around San Pedro High School in 1936. They were ancient shells belonging to snails and other mollusks from tens of thousands of years ago. ... When Hendy got a look ...
The discovery of a well-preserved fossil is helping researchers learn more about an iconic Jurassic-period species. The plesiosaur, considered a successful marine predatory ancient species, may ...
Wight Coast Fossils was created in 2019 by a group of fossil collectors and university graduates to offer guided fossil tours of the “island’s internationally unique geological heritage.”
The nickname stems from the apparent shiny dark color of the fossil bones, which occurred during fossilization by the presence of minerals in the surrounding rock; [citation needed] it was the first Tyrannosaurus rex specimen to receive a nickname, beginning a trend that continues with most major T. rex finds.

The Foraminiferal Colouration Index [1] [2] (FCI) is a tool for assessing the thermal alteration of organic matter buried in sedimentary rock.It uses temperature-controlled colour changes in the organic cement of agglutinated foraminifera (microfossils) to estimate thermal alteration.
