#341 Mary Anning
Anning’s discoveries were key pieces of evidence to support the theory of extinction. While the theory existed prior, Anning’s finds provided solid evidence for the “age of reptiles”. She discovered the ichthyosaurus, the plesiosaurus, a pterosaur & more.
@WryCritic @littlesofts My fave...that's hard to decide! I'd say Sinosauropteryx or any raptor really. Many pterosaurs too. And Deinocheirus for some reason. Love them all!
Hațeg Island is still one of the most interesting places in Earth's history, inhabited by dwarf dinosaurs that were often meals for giant pterosaurs.

Really hope we get Pterosaur diving for fish scene in season 2 of Prehistoric Planet.
So far the only major paleo media that portrayed is Jurassic World and briefly in the Dominion prologue.
Dinosauria being a personal project also portrayed
@BugcatcherM Aerodactylus scolopaciceps - ‘wind finger’ - is a species of pterosaur that will literally fit in your pocket!
Asking everyone. For Prehistoric Planet season 2, what are things you would like to see?
I personally hope the Rajasaurus and Isisaurus sequence that didn't make it into season 1 to get finished and depiction of Pterosaurs diving for fish as seen in concept art.
Pterosaur sizes and cranial changes: Red [Scaphognathids]; Orange [Dorygnathus]; Yellow [Rhamphorhynchus] and Dearc for example
Reached 3⃣5⃣ THOUSAND followers ✨ Thank you, have a fun-sized pterosaur to cuddle 🫂
Hey! I just posted another edition of Thumbnails, my occasional behind-the-scenes look at what I'm working on. This month - shaking hands with a pterosaur! (Link below)
@cyborg_blood ye ye but also consider… pterosaurs (kinda old art)
A Monet-esque impressionist take on Tupuxuara.
First of all, this is my homework. Since the teacher gave me a topic about using acrylic paints, I was inspired by this John Conway artwork.

On #FossilFriday, learn about the pterosaur pectoral region!
New research on the morphology and histology of the pectoral girdle of Hamipterus (Pterosauria), from the Early Cretaceous of Northwest China by Qian Wu et al.:

@ultralovedeluxe do my boys count? 1st n 2nd is my sona ( a spider ) 3rd is a pterosaur harpy lad
If we're using pneumatised pectoral girdles and forelimbs to predict syrinx evolution, and are now thinking this was a deep dino or perhaps basal onithodiran event, pterosaurs are suddenly very relevant - even early pterosaurs have pneumatised shoulders and arms. Hmm.
