That amazing Tupandactylus was finally published by Beccari et al. in #PLoSONE. Loads of data on skeletal proportions (suggestive of terrestrial behaviour, perhaps) and a rare, fair suggestion of the mutual sexual selection hypothesis :) https://t.co/6M7CBGHN5Q #pterosaurs
@CorbinRainbolt i dont do paleoart often but when i do i usually paint :] i like pterosaurs especially
FANTASTIC!! & filled w/@WryCritic's gorgeous #paleoart! @SteveBrusatte

The diversity of pterosaurs (to scale) - can you spot the smallest one?
Results from the #paleostream
Tarsomordeo, Montanoceratops, Regaliceratops and Silutitan (largely obscured).

Apparently it is happening. @Dave_Hone, weren't you asking about this? #pterosaurs
While what was seen in Walking With Dinosaurs wasn’t accurate, I do appreciate it for launching my love of Tropeognathus! My absolute favorite pterosaur. #WalkingWithDinosaurs #pterosaurs #paleontology

#History #Science: baby #pterosaurs could probably fly within minutes of hatching from their #eggs — their #wings were already ideally suited for powered flight, according to a new analysis of #fossil #WingBone

This is an area where we need more data. Some pterosaurs - like Pteranodon, below - are essentially only known from adult specimens: we have one juvenile among thousands of adults. So they _may_ not have been looking after their offspring.
For #FossilFriday, a thread on the new paper I published yesterday with @TetZoo and @gimpasaura, on the flight capabilities of hatchling pterosaurs. You may have seen this in the news already. Our PR #paleoart is below, & the full paper is at @SciReports: https://t.co/iHhgLuRVx0
Yesterday - while I was away on family holiday - my new #OA #pterosaur paper was published in #ScientificReports. We (@MarkWitton @gimpasaura & I) use new tests to show what hatchling & very young #pterosaurs were like as fliers. #TetZoo post is here https://t.co/LU8vHXytjY AND..
