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.

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 https://t.co/OJgmPKFOga

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 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.

This has also been a productive year for the team. We’re about 40 entries away from listing currently known pterosaurs!

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