Yixian pterosaurs // @franzanth
This formation in China is among the richest known site for Cretaceous Period fossils all over the world. It was a lakeside environment with a number of feathered dinosaurs and a variety of pterosaurs that fed on fish.

It's a bird! It's a hamster! ... It's a... Kumo? Meet Kumo, a pinkopteropotatocricetulus! It's quite a handful (and mouthful), but we'll keep you posted on how to care for it ~

Famous British paleontologist Richard Owen mistakenly identified Lonchodectes as Pterodactylus way back in 1851. This seems to have happened a lot. #pterosaur #fossils #science https://t.co/93epUzaQtU
Vivíamos en una mentira, pero @TeoZrs nos ha abierto los ojos. Los nachos no son la víctima: ¡son unos seres chupópteros desalmados! (pero qué ricos, ¿eh?)

#ThrowbackThursday My old #Rhamphorhynchus #illustration, which is soon to be receiving a portfolio buddy in the form of #Darwinopterus. #paleoart #palaeoart #pterosaur

Both fossil specimens of Prejanopterus show a snout curved to the left. If this is not distortion of the fossil, Prejanopterus is surely one of the weirdest #pterosaurs. #fossils #science https://t.co/OJgmPKFOga
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'.
The exceptional fossil of Beipiaopterus contains preserved skin with blood vessels that may have been used for regulation of body heat. #pterosaur #fossils #science https://t.co/3aOLdA5HCj
I’m a very loud pterosaur who likes to make things. The more scales and/or feathers that are involved, the more I’m gonna scream with joy. #artistvsart
(And I most certainly bought both the plushies the moment I saw them. I have no self-control with snake plushies)
Quick layout on Spotfin lionfish: Pterois antennata. There might well be some typos in this!
The rest are done and both made in Autodesk SketchBook and Procreate.#Paleoart #dinosaurs #extinctanimals #pterosaur #drawings #Paleostream #digitalart
For #FossilFriday, here's my take on the mid-sized azhdarchoid #pterosaur 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 #paleoart
Did som ref sheets for my pterosaurs. Quincy needed a new one and Pyro just.... needed one.
Pyros og design was made by @Holo_Scales
Alcione was recently found in a treasure trove of #pterosaur fossils in Morocco. #science #fossils https://t.co/f1r95xrP2L
De 25 cm a 11 m de envergadura. De caudas compridas a curtas. De bicos sem dentes a bocas cheias de dentes. Cristas grandes e pequenas dos mais variados formatos. Do Triássico ao Cretáceo, todos répteis voadores, todos #pterossauros! https://t.co/x6Ise1t0TZ
