Colour[edit]

Why are the bones red? It does not look like the natural colour of fossilized bone. Is it painted? Is it an original at all?--6r3tar550n (talk) 19:56, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a cast, not sure why they chose red, though... FunkMonk (talk) 01:40, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps in order to make the bones (especially delicate structures such as the gastrals) better visible to visitors. But it looks weird and really unnatural. --6r3tar550n (talk) 14:43, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
