Sinosauropteryx — size comparison — facts and sources

Sinosauropteryx lived in the Early Cretaceous in present-day China. Preserved food remains indicate consumption of small vertebrates.

Its discovery marked an important stage in understanding theropod body coverings. Microscopic structures help reconstruct some original pigmentation. Colour information nevertheless concerns preserved areas and studied specimens, not automatically the complete appearance of a population.
