Just finished Arambourgiania, the other end of the azhdarchid ecological and morphological spectrum opposite Hatzegopteryx. It may look ungainly, but keep in mind that head is a lot lighter than it looks.
você foi apresentado ao hatzegopteryx e sua vida nunca mais será a mesma
Just completed a reconstruction of the giant short-necked azhdarchid Hatzegopteryx! A giant, terrestrial apex predator from the Late Cretaceous of Romania. I primarily referenced the PeerJ article by @MarkWitton and @TetZoo
To celebrate #WorldGiraffeDay, here's me in my day job as Human Scalebar, with a record-breaking giraffe and a couple of pterosaur friends (Arambourgiania philadelphiae and Hatzegopteryx thambema). And yes, giraffes can get that big! Image by @MarkWitton
For #FossilFriday, a quick poll: which of these pterosaur images would you rather see in Life through the Ages II: Nyctosaurus or Hatzegopteryx? Both are awesome species, and I only have one pterosaur slot.
For #FossilFriday: 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. @Gizz47 is the scale bar.
#TetZoo Accomplishments of 2017 4: technical papers - produced with, and led by, co-authors - were published or submitted on facial anatomy of the theropod Neovenator, plesiosaur swimming mechanics, the palaeobiology of the giant pterosaur Hatzegopteryx, and more.
Factoid 2 - One large pterosaur, Hatzegopteryx, was prob a big predator, spending a lot of time grounded eating small dinos. Img @MarkWitton
@IrregularBooks Inspired by the nest parasitism idea, young Hatzegopteryx in Eurazhdarcho nest. #pterosaurs #paleoart
