Last up for today's at extravaganza: a high-res version of my PR art for last week's hatchling pterosaur paper is now available. It shows, obviously, the terrific Pterodaustro - one of the best flying reptiles, surely. https://t.co/Ar9owkZRKB

But other pterosaur-bearing rocks, like those of Solnhofen, preserve both young juveniles AND adults. We can't, therefore, entirely rule out parental care in sp. like Rhamphorhynchus or Pterodactylus. Maybe they did look after their young. Maybe they didn't.

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.

i have decided that long-necked pterosaurs like quetzalcoatlus and hatzegopteryx are easily the most terrifying "dinosaurs" that ever existed

they are SO surreal and unsettling to look at

Seriously guys, what do you think of my art that's not dino/pterosaurs. Any potential?

You know, we talk about variety in dinosaurs appearing in media, but rarely about variety in pterosaurs. Pteranodon and Pterodactyl are pretty much the Stegosaurus and Triceratops of the prehistoric flying reptiles at this point. We need some weird ones like the Dsungaripteridae.
