Description
Three specimens referred to Sinosauropteryx:
1. NIGP 127587 (referred specimen, young adult)
2. GMV 2123 (holotype, juvenile)
3. GMV 2124 (S.? sp., adult)
The colors of S. prima proper are based on the paper Zhang, F., Kearns, S.L., Orr, P.J., Benton, M.J., Zhou, Z., Johnson, D., Xu, X. and Wang, X. (2010). "Fossilized melanosomes and the colour of Cretaceous dinosaurs and birds." Nature, 463: 1075-1078
Size of S. sp, which is probably a distinct genus based on proportional differences, follows the measurements given in Ji, Q., and Ji, S. (1997). "Advances in Sinosauropteryx Research." Chinese Geology, 7: 30-32.
