This partial Cryodrakon skeleton is from a juvenile. Adults may have had a 10-metre wingspan. The tibia has tooth marks and a broken Saurornitholestes tooth embedded in it, the first of its kind in a Cretaceous fossil, evidence of scavenging. Art © .

The fossils were initially thought to belong to one of the largest flying reptiles ever known, Quetzalcoatlus. In 2019, researchers recognized it as a new species, and named it Cryodrakon boreas, ‘cold dragon of the north winds.’ Art © Gabriel Ugueto

For some from 2016: the azhdarchid that would eventually become Cryodrakon is scavenged by a variety of dinosaurs and pterosaurs. I should do top-down views more often, they're fun to execute and interesting to look at.

크리오드라콘(Cryodrakon boreas)
캐나다 엘버타 주에서 발견된 한때 케찰코아틀루스의 화석이라고 여겨졌던 일부 표본들이 모식표본과 차이가 있음이 인정되어서 '얼음의 용'이란 뜻의 크리오드라콘이란 학명으로 재명명되었다.

Cryodrakon

The longest azhdarchid found, it was originally believed to be a new species of quetzalcoatlus, but turned out a new genus

ALT: the current species name is "boreas" northern wind, it was originally going to be named "viserion" after a dragon from game of thrones

I did this recon of Cryodrakon a while back but I realized I never showed it. Cryodrakon was a large Azhdarchid pterosaur from late Cretaceous North America. I like to call these large azhdarchids Gitaffe-storks. And yes, yes they could fly.

For here's some of the newly-named azhdarchid Cryodrakon made several years before the specimen was named. The two older images here are from 2009 (a whole decade ago!) and the newer, prettier version is from 2016.
