there's a late Triassic aetosaur named Typothorax, because, as everyone knows, Thor uses a hammer, not an ax.

A #Peteinosaurus shows off atop a Williamsonia on the edge of a small, overgrown cliff, unaware of the #Procompsognathus climbing up to try and sneak up on him. On a lower cliff, a #Paratypothorax visits her favourite stream to have a drink.

I got the idea for this one while hiking in Switzerland - coming across landscapes like this, it was easy to imagine pterosaurs atop the cliffs!
