In honor of the new paper about the feathery coverings of pterosaurs, please enjoy this piece of #sciart I did way back in 2009 using @GIMP_Official depicting a Tupandactylus imperator in hornbill colors!

A paleoartist who deserves way more love in my opinion is DeviantArt user "Kutchicetus-Minimus". They have some of the most original, beautiful-looking pterosaurs I've seen.
Tropeognathus is now joined by the equally enormous Thanatosdrakon. These two giants are South Americas largest pterosaurs. #PterosaurTuesday #fossils #paleontology #Quetzalcoatlus #Pteranodon #dinosaurs
It's #PortfolioDay? Hello. I love making dinosaurs & pterosaurs fun, accessible & cute.
Eudimorphodon is a pterosaur from the Late Triassic and one of the oldest known pterosaurs.

I've seen this sort of prompt going around, so why not have our own spin on it?
Top three pterosaurs, go:
1. Arambouriania
2. Tropeognathus
3. Kunpengopterus
Thalassodromeus custom for @Zazelhound 🦜🪷
Gosh I love pterosaurs!!
Various pterosaurs have been sometimes pictured as "skim-feeders". However, known pterosaurs lack the extreme specialisations found in present-day skimmer birds, Rhynchops sp. I studied the skulls of skimmers, then designed a hypothetically-plausible "skimming pterosaur".
Dearc sgiathanach science: Jagielska et al 2022, @WryCritic. Giant Jurassic pterosaur indicates early evolution of large size in pterosaurs & hints at ecology.

@SiakaDibba Ignore the pterosaurs but those are in my opinion the best paleoarts so far

Do you ever wish you could get the chance to talk about paleontology more often? Of course, you do! Get conversations started with strangers over topics like pterosaurs, dinosaurs and evolution.
