古生物复原画与推测

理解古生物复原画——恐龙的科学插图与模型——以化石证据为基础，同时包含对皮肤颜色、羽毛以及通常不会形成化石的软组织的合理推测。

Understand that palaeoart — scientific illustrations and models of dinosaurs — is based on fossil evidence but involves informed speculation about skin colour, feathers, and soft tissues that don't usually fossilise

学习证据 / Evidence

• 解释骨骼和牙齿可以从化石中得知，但皮肤颜色和软组织通常无法从化石中得知。
• 说明近年来保存下来的皮肤印痕化石和羽毛化石的发现，已经改进并完善了恐龙复原图。
• 举例说明我们对某种恐龙形象的认识如何随着时间而改变（例如：伶盗龙从有鳞片到有羽毛的形象变化）。

• Explain that bones and teeth are known from fossils but skin colour and soft tissues usually are not
• State that recent discoveries of preserved skin impressions and feather fossils have improved reconstructions
• Give an example of how our picture of a dinosaur has changed over time (e.g. feathered vs scaly Velociraptor)
