A fun #paleoart comparison for #FossilFriday: Pterodactylus restored by Jean Hermann in 1800 vs. Pterodactylus restored by me, 220 years later. Hermann's pterosaur is the oldest known 'legit' piece of palaeoart - a fossil-based life reconstruction based on science, not mythology.
A wandering #Azhdarchid #pterosaur. I finally got some toned mixed media paper; now I can employ some of the paint I have to play with.
I’ve finally become the PAINT paddock.
Paleontólogo busca desentrañar los misterios del pterosaurio chileno (@biobio @uchile) El estudio de fragmentos de restos fósiles encontrados hace 30 años en el cerro “La Isla” permitió identificar los restos de un pterosaurio d la familia Ctenochasmatidae https://t.co/QXQVwag8BR
New pterosaur! The Hasandong pterosaur was a member of the boreopterids, a group with vertical needle-like teeth that probably fed on fish and small vertebrates.

Some new #paleoart for #FossilFriday. This 2018 Irritator image was destined for a future book, but it's now superfluous thanks some study or other that came out this week. This is a substantial update on a scene from my 2013 pterosaur book. Tapejara and Anhanguera also feature.
New #pterosaur! In 2016, a paleontologist bought an illegally obtained fossil from the phosphate mines of Morocco that would become a new pterosaur genus, Apatorhamphus.

St George fights a pterodactyl.
(The illustration is by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, who designed the @cpdinosaurs, & did genuinely seem to have believed that legends of dragons derived from ancient human encounters with pterosaurs.)

Tapejara was a pterosaur from the Cretaceous Period. It had a huge crest on its head, which may have been used to attract mates.

Oh NO... the horror!

Good evening everyone! Tonight’s pterosaur of the day is Quetzalcoatlus! Quetzalcoatlus was a pterosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period. It was found in North America. It’s name is derived from the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. See you explorers tomorrow!🤠

The amphibians Trematosaurus and proto-frog Triadobatrachus were also new ones to me, while the leggy crocodylomorph Terrestrisuchus and pterosaur Caelestiventus were more my usual thing.

El Quetzalcoatlus fue una especie de pterosaurio el cual vivió en Norteamérica hace 68 millones de años en el periodo Cretácico y se extinguió hace 65 millones de años, media 6 metros de largo, 5 metros de alto, tenía una envergadura de 12 metros y pesaba 150 kilos (+)
Wukongopterus was the first pterosaur found with a head more similar to Cretaceous species and a long tail more similar to older species. This was evidence of modular evolution i.e. body parts changing through time independently of the rest of the body

Did some short story sketches to enjoy the sunny afternoon. This is Vaskalamaldus the Raven King, antagonist of my first Tales of Kaimere short story, Death Walks on Broken Wings:

New #pterosaur! It's been more than 20 years since the discovery of Luchibang. Publication of its discovery was delayed because doubts remained regarding the authenticity of its #fossil, which was in the possession of illegal fossil dealers.
