  4. #Eopteranodon was previously thought to be related to #toothless #pterosaurs like #Pteranodon, but is now placed comfortably in #Tapejaridae with pterosaurs like #Tupandactylus and #Sinopterus!

  5. Here’s #Dearc! The largest described #Jurassic #pterosaur!

    Dearc sgiathanach was a #rhamphorynchid found on the Isle of Skye in #Scotland, and described by Natalia Jagielska and Steve Brusatte. Its wingspan was estimated at about 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), which was much bigger than the next biggest #pterosaurs at that time!

  6. Here is Caelestiventus hanseni! One of the few #pterosaurs discovered from the #Triassic!

    This definitely has one of the best names of any #pterosaur! Its generic name translates to “heavenly wind”, which is definitely up there with #Sordes and #Cryodrakon!
