The Lagerstätten of Lebanon have provided some truly beautiful fossils. This is of one of the more charismatic species: Mimodactylus libanensis. It had Strikingly long wings and teeth only in the front of the snout. Images from Kellner et al., art by @JCsotonyi #FossilFriday
Pterosaur feature!
Middle East is sadly not known for well-preserved pterosaur remains. Mimodactylus libanensis is an exception! Described in 2019, it is an almost completely preserved Istiodactylid pterosaur from Lebanon 🇱🇧 with ability to crush shells!

Mimodactylus, aka looooong wings. Got more detailed than usual with this one, and gave it a fun little fleshy crest seeing as that's something I've not done with a pterosaur before.
