Summary

Description

Gallimimus bullatus restoration.

• Based Proportionally on Scott Hartman's skeletal drawing.
• Three specimens of Ornithomimus preserve evidence of feathers, including evidence of pennaceous feathers on the arms. [1] An additional Ornithomimus specimen suggests that the skin lacked feathers on the lower parts of the thigh and under the tail. [2] This image goes under the assumption that Gallimimus were also covered in feathers.
• The colours and/or patterns, as with nearly all reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.
