NYTimes Scientists Offer More Evidence on What Dinosaurs Looked Like
The journal Science published a watercolor of a 150-million-year-old feathered dinosaur called Anchiornis (above) an ancient relative of living birds...

The size, shape and arrangement of the melanosomes help give color to the feathers of living birds.

By biochemically manipulating a chicken embryo in the egg to “awaken the dinosaur within.”
