Working on my PhD chapter, started questioning validity of claim that all Solnhofen Rhamphorhynchus being R. muensteri, especially R. longiceps. I know there are ontogenic and preservational changes, but, ignoring the size discrepancy, the cranium is just... relatively triangular
this morning's extremely messy warmup, a rhamphorhynchus doing a morning stretch #warmup #speedpaint #flyingreptile #rhamphorhynchus #illustration #morning
Sketched a Rhamphorhynchus this morning. I need to go back and draw more animals. Feeling rusty as hell.
Ferdinand #Bauer sailed with botanist Robert Brown to #Australia on the voyage of the Investigator. Leaving Spithead in 1801 under the command of Matthew Flinders, becoming the first ship to circumnavigate Australia. Ornithorhynchus anatinus, platypus

For #FossilFriday I'll share one of my favourite fossils:
Rhamphorhynchus flies over water.
Snap! Catches a fish.
Then (there's always a bigger fish) SNAP! get's caught by a Aspidorhynchus leaping out the water! But it's too chewy, entangles with the teeth! Oh no, all die!
Still in the early stages of my first #paleoart piece for 2020...

To help us forget about politics, here's some #FossilFriday Rhamphorhynchus muensteri #paleoart. The 3 big animals are based on the largest known (1.8 m wingspan) muensteri specimen, which was once thought to be a unique species. Turns out it's just a really large adult.
#Aerodactyl is based on #pterosaurs, specifically #rhamphorhynchids, a family of toothed #pterosaurs, as opposed to #Pteranodon. Picture Aerodactyl as a giant horned rhamphorhynchus. Artwork by @arvalis.

Ornithorhynchus anatinus, platypus (Ferdinand #Bauer,1803). A semi-aquatic mammal found in eastern Australia. It is 1 of 5 species of monotremes, the only egg-laying mammals. The first Europeans to encounter them were bemused by its beaver-like body and duck's bill #MammalMonday
Highlights from the #paleostream! Stenonychosaurus, Shringasaurus and Rhamphorhynchus.
The #paleoart I created for @Irishpalaeo's brand new rhamphorhynchid taxon Klobiodon rochei. This was a big animal for the Middle Jurassic with a 2 m wingspan, a robust jaw and some awesome teeth. Read about it (and more about Mike's work) here: https://t.co/11uIsQegzp
The western spinebill (Acanthorhynchus superciliosus) and the tawny-crowned honeyeater (Gliciphila melanops) for #Feathursday! #SciArt by Henrik Grönvold from v. 11 (1923-24) of "The Birds of Australia". In #BHLib via @museumsvictoria @bhl_au ➡️ https://t.co/BOPDxvKRxW
Finally finished this #paleoart of Rhamphorhynchus mobbing behaviour - three big adults chase a juvenile for its fish prey. The scene is a complete reworking of the opening image from my 2013 book 'Pterosaurs'. There are lots of other images in that book I'd like to redo.

rhamphorhynchus is today´s entry for #drawdinovember . Such an ugly ugly pterosaur!
