Pigmentastic

Some paleontologists analyze the structure of fossilized dinosaur skin, and discover that the Payasaurus arlequinnus had highly unusual colors and patterns.   "So we analyzed the pigment structures in this fossilized dinosaur skin, and...  um..."   "Oh my."

Scientists really have figured out the coloring for some dinosaurs, mostly from feathers.  Though nothing quite this exciting.  

I should probably clarify, that's not a real species.  I was just amusing myself.
