A team of paleontologists and ecological scientists from Nanjing University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and University College Cork, has found that it might be possible to estimate coloration for some fossilized insects using a new technique. In their paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group describes how they compared simulated fossilization of living insects with those from millions of years ago, and what they found by doing so.
