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 here's my take on the mid-sized azhdarchoid Thalassodromeus. There's some neat features on the skull of this animal which probably relate to facial tissues - I wrote about them at my blog not so long ago: https://t.co/IxWpLHJ1FL

On this, the eve of St. Patrick's Day, I only want to remind you that our distant relatives, Dimetrodon and Sphenacodon (Permian synapsids) had appropriately-shaped tooth roots in cross-section...

For 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 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.

So many of you were correct! For here is my reconstruction of Sinosaurus triassicus, a tetanuran theropod part of the Early Jurassic (Hettangian) fauna of the Lower Lufeng Formation, China. It was a medium-sized (approx. 5.5 m long) taxon

A section through the snout of arguably the cutest little animal to ever go extinct, Diictodon! These tusked, beaked, pug-sized critters from the Permian period belonged to the Synapsida (the group that also includes mammals).
