🚨 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! 😊

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.

The Late Jurassic shark SNSB-BSPG 1899 I 2, which was found in Eichstätt and sometimes gets called "Hybodus fraasi" or "Egertonodus fraasi" but belongs probably to neither genus.

There were no life restorations of Anthonema problematicum, so I made one myself. I based it on the photographs and the technical drawing in "Anthonema - Der Blütenfaden aus dem Almühljura" by Hermann Polz and Helmut Tischlinger.
