Another Dinosaur in Color

Anchiornis huxleyi, which lived around 150 million years ago, its colors based on the shape on the melanin containing bodies in its feathers. Expect a flood of such studies over the next few years, as paleontologists apply this technique to every feathered fossil.

This thing really looks like a bird, doesn't it?
