In 2013, myself and colleagues named the new azhdarchoid pterosaur Vectidraco daisymorrisae, known only for a small pelvis and some vertebrae. It had been discovered on the Isle of Wight by 5-yr-old Daisy Morris. The paper is https://t.co/wKAqf5RPPe

New species from South of France: Mistralazhdarcho maggii https://t.co/OlEkhcHg2k Pterosaurs are extinct flying reptiles. This youngster's wings stretched out to about 4,5 m, and could go up to 6 m later in life. Not bad eh? Same family as Quetzalcoatlus!

This is Orville, a character from my K: BTS AU and a member of the Dracomatter Squad. He is a Pteromatter, a Dracomatter variant that is themed after pterosaurs. Orville is the group's aerial attack specialist. He is named after Orville Wright of the Wright Brothers.

I was very excited to try my hand at the age-old trope of mosasaurs snatching pterosaurs. Probably not gonna work out well for you Pteranodon buddy. Its okay, giant lizards are way cooler than bird-bats with man bodies.

The fossilized skeletons of pterosaurs - which look quite different from any extant flying vertebrate - baffled many early palaeontologists. One early theory suggested that pterosaurs were flying marsupials.
