Dragonite can flying faster than the speed of sound. It can circle the globe in sixteen hours, traveling roughly 1,556mph! Even though it’s huge it could fly well! A real life dragonite would be like the extinct Pterosaurs- earliest vertebrates known to have evolved flight....

An amateur paleontologist found this controversial pterosaur in a locality called Bob's Vacation Site in 1991. Its genus name means "chicken" in the Blackfoot language, a nod to its original but mistaken identity as a bird. https://t.co/WS3rtAM0j0

Finally, the `cemitério dos pterossauros´ shows the co-occurrence of two pterosaur species, & Caiuajara, and a theropod dinosaur, the recent-published Vespersaurus, can confidently be regarded as part of the same paleobiological community. Welcome to Cretaceous Park!

Some paleoart of Lacusovagus, an Azhdarchoid pterosaur described in 2008 by . It lived in the Crato Formation. Follow if you like pterosaurs, they make some amazing skeletals.

Approx. 50 min warmup sketch of the giant pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus northropi. Done with a cursory glance at a skeletal, so proportions may be a bit whack. Had fun with this one! Trying to improve my understanding of colour&light with less emphasis on detail

Because it is my warmup sketch for today is a group of Nyctosaurus. Showing possible sexual dimorphism in the bizarre crest of this species. Nyctosaurus is definitely among the most interesting

Last one from Elmer Boyd Smith's "So Long Ago" (1944) where fall from the sky, Sauron from Spider Man makes a cameo & Brontosaurues & Pterosaur get into a staring contest ... literally 👀

Don't be fooled by its name, Eopteranodon is not closely related to the other more popular pterosaur with a similar name. It's one of the earliest known toothless pterosaurs. https://t.co/NouIhlRzSA

The only fossil specimen of this Early Cretaceous pterosaur shows it biting its wing, a result of separation of body parts prior to fossilization. https://t.co/wjF3nfO634

Pterosaur feathers
by

Pterosaurs are known to have been covered in hair-like pycnofibers. Two specimens of anurognathids show that some pycnofibers were brush- or tuft-shaped and probably share an evolutionary origin with feathers.
