We did today an Ediacara touch tank, the Anteosaurus valley, a Drepanosaurus aviary and our own little Solnhofen lagoon.
But other pterosaur-bearing rocks, like those of Solnhofen, preserve both young juveniles AND adults. We can't, therefore, entirely rule out parental care in sp. like Rhamphorhynchus or Pterodactylus. Maybe they did look after their young. Maybe they didn't.
Reminder that in the Late Jurassic of Europe, many Solnhofen like Deposits turned up, and not too long ago a new one has also been found in Poland the Owadów‐Brzezinki quarry, which has already turned up a new Ichythosaur and the oldest Member of the Genus Limulus.

Part of one of the three plates depicting the tetrapods of the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Formation of Germany. This is one of the plates that will appear in my book (currently still in prepartion). I have left only the #dinosaurs not in silhouette. #paleoart #sciart

Working on my PhD chapter, started questioning validity of claim that all Solnhofen Rhamphorhynchus being R. muensteri, especially R. longiceps. I know there are ontogenic and preservational changes, but, ignoring the size discrepancy, the cranium is just... relatively triangular
Diopecephalus is from the famous Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone Formation of Germany. https://t.co/CsbmaXXOh3
Today is #DarwinDay and it is also #PterosaurPtuesday so I thought it was the perfect chance to show you part of the trees of the tetrapods of theSolnhofen Formation from Germany that will appear on my in-prep book. Part of the pterosaur tree from Solnhofen #paleoart #sciart

"Lithographica" is a vintage-style depiction of some of the biodiversity of the Solnhofen Limestone, a bountiful fossil formation in Germany. I wanted to show what a naturalist might have seen walking amongst the islands and lagoons of Jurassic Europe.

Another #SundayFishSketch! This time Eomesodon, a beast that was able to grow surprisingly huge for a pycnodont. I saw a original in Solnhofen, especially impressive because one is able to the the sculpture of the scales which are usually too small to notice. #Paleoart #Sciart
#Archeopteryx? Nope, not anymore, the Haarlem specimen is now a own species, not even directly related to old Archie. Instead #Ostromia is closer to #Anchiornis. Here a quick, first guess on it's appearance. Another stem bird for #Solnhofen, diversity for the win! #Paleoart
While I get stuff sorted out before Hurricane Irma gets here, I give you Pterodactylus antiquus Solnhofen Fm Germany #paleoart #pterosaurs
Anurognathus ammoni, in alert position. Perhaps my favorite pterosaur. Solnhofen Formation, late Jurassic (Tithonian) #paleoart #pterosaurs
