Understanding the color patterns of dinosaurs is as complicated as recognizing the colors of the birds because of their diverse nature. But new research is now trying to shed light on the color patterns of dinosaurs. The fossil feathers and skin contain an organelle found in animal cells called melanosomes. These melanosomes are responsible for different color patterns. Therefore, the comparison of melanosomes in fossil feathers with the melanosomes of modern birds can help to shed light on the colors of the dinosaurs. Moreover, a better understanding of these color patterns of dinosaurs will help to get detailed insights on where dinosaurs lived and how they behaved.
