  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)!

    If you like my pterosaur #cartoons and want to leave your support, please consider reblogging this post! 😊

  3. Life-sized paintings make no sense on the internet, of course, because device-makers and software vendor never got together for a goddamn standard about how big things would be displayed because fuck everyone.

    (Much like the “send something to someone right next to you” problem that they’ve fumbled for decades.)

    Not that I'm bitter.

    "Life-sized Pterodactylus" — 2014

    Pterodactylus was a little pterosaur that lived in Germany during the Late Jurassic, about 145 million years ago. It is known from several excellent fossils, which include soft-tissue impressions of it fur, wings, and crest. It is also a very pretty little animal.

    "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.

    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."
