Two of the fossils sampled for the study with the fossil melanosomes found in each fossil (scanning electron microscope images). Scaniacypselus to the left and Primotrogon to the right. Melanosome shape varies in the different samples, and is indicative of color. The sample furthest to the left was predicted to be iridescent.
