摘　　要：化石羽毛颜色特征对探讨带毛恐龙和早期鸟类的起源及其生活习性有着重要的意义。本文论述了现生羽毛成色机制和化石羽毛颜色复原的相关研究进展,认为化石羽毛结构色的恢复是羽毛化石研究工作的一大难点。结构色在现生羽毛中具有重要地位,并且与羽毛结构演化有着密切的关系,因此在无法确定化石羽毛精细结构的情况下,对处于演化早期阶段的羽毛化石,仅通过化学色素来复原其颜色具有较高的合理性。The study of feather is related to avian origin. Feather color and their evolution can be used to understand behavior of dinosaurs with feather and early birds. Production mechanisms of feather color in living birds and predicting of fossil feather color have been reviewed in this paper. Reconstructions of fossil feather structural color still are not resolved. According to position of structural color about living bird feathers and evolution of feather structure, it should be reasonable to predict fossil feather color only with pigment color for feather in early evolution structure.
