Here’s the “implausible eye position”. My guess is that he doesn’t know what an Azhdarchid skull looks like, because I drew the eye in exactly the right place. As well, the “excessively speculative” Caryosyntrips and the Volgadraco with the “implausibly large ear”.

That’s true, but compare it to the monster neck of an Azhdarchid like Arambourgiania, the biggest living thing to ever fly. (Art by

I just took part on It's been quite a while since I participated in one. I'm still getting the feeling for quick sketches like these, not exactly great
1) Azhdarcho fishing at dawn in a brackish lake
2) Three Sachicasaurus approach the water's surface

Elanodactylus has some unique skeletal features among pterosaurs and evolved long neck vertebrae convergent with another group, the azhdarchids. https://t.co/PyfxWV07cv

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

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.

Lol. It's got a short neck for its family, the azhdarchids. That's Hatzegopteryx on the right (art by Mark Witton)

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!

Almost forgot here's some 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'.

For here's my take on the mid-sized azhdarchoid Thalassodromeus. There's some neat features on the skull of this animal which probably relate to facial tissues - I wrote about them at my blog not so long ago: https://t.co/IxWpLHJ1FL

For 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. is the scale bar.

For of big azhdarchid pterosaurs, small azhdarchid pterosaurs, and azhdarchid tracks. That's good azhdarchid value.
