Elanodactylus has some unique skeletal features among pterosaurs and evolved long neck vertebrae convergent with another group, the azhdarchids. #pterosaur #fossils #science https://t.co/PyfxWV07cv
Arambourgiania philadelphiae fue un enorme pterosaurio de la familia Azhdarchidae que vivió durante el Cretácico tardío. Su envergadura alar llegaba a los 10m y su cuello medía unos 3m. Recreaciones de @MarkWitton

Just finished Arambourgiania, the other end of the azhdarchid ecological and morphological spectrum opposite Hatzegopteryx. It may look ungainly, but keep in mind that head is a lot lighter than it looks.
@LeonardoYokhana Lol. It's got a short neck for its family, the azhdarchids. That's Hatzegopteryx on the right (art by Mark Witton)
Just completed a reconstruction of the giant short-necked azhdarchid Hatzegopteryx! A giant, terrestrial apex predator from the Late Cretaceous of Romania. I primarily referenced the PeerJ article by @MarkWitton and @TetZoo
Highlights from the #paleostream!
Exploding Futalongnkosaurus, Tarbosaurus and giant Mongol Azhdarchid, Omeisaurus and Lystrosaurus.
Designing the dragon (a.k.a. an azhdarchid-pterosaur-that’d-one-day-evolve-into-quetzalcoatlus) for the dinosaur project thingy. I think I like it now?
Almost forgot #FossilFriday: here's some #paleoart of azhdarchid pterosaurs wandering over a riverbank, seen from above. Their pacing matches that of the azhdarchid ichnofossil, Haenamichnus, one of the only pterosaur tracks with an ID beyond 'pterosaur indet'.
i.. i spent part of my day drawing some dinosaur bs. slight resdesign of my theropods, and some kinda azhdarchid
For #FossilFriday: a rarely seen comparison between giant azhdarchid pterosaurs and a large male giraffe (yes, they can get this big!). Pterosaurs are Arambourgiania (left) and Hatzegopteryx - slender and robust takes on the giant azhdarchid bauplan. @Gizz47 is the scale bar.
Our friend the giant azhdarchid pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus stalks the Cretaceous landscape and picks off some T. rex hatchlings. #paleoart #dinosaurs #quetzalcoatlus #scientificillustration
#FossilFriday (Friday the 13th edition) Azhdarchids. Enough said? (Art by @MarkWitton)
For #FossilFriday, #paleoart of big azhdarchid pterosaurs, small azhdarchid pterosaurs, and azhdarchid tracks. That's good azhdarchid value.
Aerotitan sudamericanus, an azhdarchid from the Allen Formation, Late Cretaceous Argentina. So many #pterosaurs in my updomg book #paleoart
The secret behind that recent War of the Worlds picture I did. Stalking azhdarchids remind me of Wellsian tripods, see.
New #OA Paper! @TetZoo and I propose the giant azhdarchid #pterosaur Haztegopteryx was a short-necked arch predator: https://t.co/kJyoCpPHdw
New blog post: we must talk about Arambourgiania, lesser-seen giant #azhdarchid #pterosaur. https://t.co/ukF6xMkSqj
New blog post! The lives and times of #azhdarchid #pterosaurs, as told by the fossil record
