For the first time, scientists have decoded the full-body color patterns of a dinosaurthe 155-million-year-old Anchiornis huxleyi (pictured)a new study in the journal Science says.
That may sound familiar, given last week's announcement of the first scientifically verified dinosaur color scheme.
But the previous research, published in Nature, had found pigments only on a few isolated parts of dinosaurs (see pictures)and had used less rigorous methods for assigning colors to the fossilized, filament-like "protofeathers" found on some dinosaur specimens, say authors of the new report.

Dino-Pecker would be a great name for a band.
Or a porn star.

The color patterns on Anchiornis's limbs are "quite similar to the silver-spangled Hamburg chicken [pictured], a domestic breed of ornamental chicken,"
