Lecture by Johan Gren – Part of YorNight

For centuries we have been fascinated by large, extinct animals – such as dinosaurs and marine reptiles – and the way we look at these animals has repeatedly changed as we have learned more about their lifestyles.

One question has, however, always been left to the artists’ impressions: What colour did they have? Only a few years ago we thought we would never see an answer to this question, but thanks to recent advances in a new field called ‘Molecular Palaeontology’, we have been provided with the tools to reconstruct a truly colourful past.

FREE Free admission.
