This summer I got to see what appear to be preserved dinosaur
*stripes*, believe it or not, one of the few cases I know of any truly
ancient animals preserving a coloration pattern. Well, actually I don't
know of any others.
Actually, I believe there are fossil butterflies or moths, and at least one
species of Mesozoic lacewing or similar insect, that show wing-patterns
quite well.
