  1. New #Pterosaur Species Unearthed in Germany sci.news/paleontology/spathagn #paleoart by @AlessioCiaffi

    A #NewSpecies and the earliest occurrence of the Gnathosaurinae (#Pterosauria) from the Late Kimmeridgian of Brunn, Germany: Alexandra Fernandes et al. link.springer.com/article/10.1

    "Spathagnathus roeperi represents the oldest occurrence of a gnathosaurine and contributes to the range for the Gnathosaurinae [#pterosaurs] within the overall fossil assemblage of the #Solnhofen Archipelago."

  2. 🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨

    Skiphosoura bavarica was a monofenestratan #pterosaur from the #Solnhofen limestone of Germany!
    This species helps us understand how #pterosaurs transitioned from the “rhamphorhynchoid” body plan (regular sized head/neck, long tail), to the pterodactyloid body plan (big head, long neck, stumpy tail)!

  3. A random artwork from my gallery:

    "Rhamphorhynchus muensteri" — 2013

    Rhamphorhynchus muensteri was a medium-sized pterosaur from the Late Jurassic of Germany. It is known from dozens of excellent fossils, including one of the best Mesozoic fossils I know of, the famous darkwing specimen.

  4. A new and large ctenochasmatid pterosaur from the Solnhofen region archosaurmusings.wordpress.com

    Petrodactyle wellnhoferi gen. et sp. nov.: A new and large ctenochasmatid #pterosaur from the Late #Jurassic of #Germany palaeo-electronica.org/content

    "Please welcome #Petrodactyle wellnhoferi. Fully laid out in wingspan it’s just over 2 m so comparable (but a bit larger than) the largest known #Rhamphorhynchus and larger than any of the other #pterodactyloids in the #Solnhofen beds."
