SUMMARY:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar: The Colors of Dinosaurs
DESCRIPTION:Talk: The Colors of Dinosaurs: Using the Fossil Record and Living Birds to Determine Extinct Animal Coloration \nSpeaker: Dr. Sarah Davis\, Collection Manager of Paleobiology\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History \nWhen: Thursday\, October 9\, 2025\, 6:00–7:00 p.m. \nWhere: Art Theater and online via Zoom; Reception to follow in Café Carnegie \nTickets: Free. Museum admission not required. \nDr. Sarah Davis\, Collection Manager of Paleobiology\, will present her research on determining the colors of extinct dinosaurs using both fossil evidence and insights from living animals. While many fossils show that dinosaurs could have had black\, brown\, grey\, and even shiny colors\, not all pigments will fossilize. By looking at the evolution of pigments in living animals\, along with evidence from the fossil record\, it is possible to infer if dinosaurs may have also been able to express bright colors such as red\, yellow\, and pink. Dr. Davis will discuss which dinosaurs may have been most likely to express these vivid colors\, and ongoing challenges in the field of paleo-coloration. \nPlease join us for a reception in Café Carnegie immediately following the seminar. \nRegistration is required to attend R.W. Moriarty Science Seminars. Sign-up below to attend in person or click here to join us via Zoom.  \n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”136134″] \n  \n  \n  \n  \nUpcoming R.W. Moriarty Science Seminars\nLearn about scientific discoveries directly from the experts in the field. Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s scientific research staff and invited speakers discuss their latest findings on numerous scientific topics at the R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar series.
