Dino Tag - Tumblr Posts
Squishable had a Dino Week this week and these are the releases! I want to get the stego and triceratops for a friend.
You can get them here.
We’re dinosaurs colorful?
Just saw a photo of a cassowary, and I immediately thought of colorful pterodactyls roaming the skies.
HELL yeah dinosaurs were colorful!
it was discovered in the last couple of decades that if a fossil has a particularly well-preserved section of skin or feathers, it's often possible to go in with an electron microscope and literally find tiny fossilized impressions of the molecules that were used to give that skin or feathers color, and the molecules are often the same ones that various animals still use today!
so using modern animal colors as a decryption key, scientists have found that many dinosaurs were just as colorful as birds and lizards that are still running around today!

featherless dinosaurs were usually found in natural tones of red-browns and grays, but feathered dinosaurs were rocking the full color spectrum from "this is a raccoon" to "tragic explosion at the Crayola factory".

hopefully, as time goes on and we find more fossils, we'll find even more secrets of dinosaur color!
