Reconstructing Dinosaur Colour

Professor Mike Benton,

Bristol University

 

 

Our fifth lecture of the session will be given by Professor Mike Benton.

 

He has stepped in to replace Prof. Bryony Coles who has had to cancel at short notice. We expect her to give her lecture on Doggerland in the autumn.

 

Mike's lecture follows on from Stuart Kearns' lecture of October 2008. He will be talking about exceptionally well preserved dinosaurs from China and particularly what we can tell about their colour. I wonder if any were yellow with purple spots?
