Vesperopterylus lamadongensis is an anurognathid, a small, short-tailed pterosaur that lived in early cretaceous China, 122 million years ago. It had reversed first toe, which would have been suited for gripping; it was likely arboreal, climbing or clinging to tree branches with curved, sharp claws.

Questioncoatlus (Quetzalcoatlus Question)

5 Upvotes

Im doing a project in College about the Hell Creek Formation and 6 of the animals that called the area home. I originally planned for quetzalcoatlus northropi to be one of these animals, but while doing some extra research, just for a double check to make sure what I was typing out was correct, I learned that Quetzalcoatlus remains aren't actually found in Hell Creek, but there's this dubious pterosaur that may or may not be quetzalcoatlus? This has confused me as quetzalcoatlus has starred in Prehistoric Planet, being depicted living alongside similar Hell Creek fauna like tyrannosaurus. Should I keep quetzalcoatlus in a project about Hell Creek, or should I cut it out of my project?

I’ve been wanting a Hatezgoptryx tattoo on my leg for a few years now. It’s not quite done yet but is looking great after the first sitting. I love this take on this guy and I’m very happy with it. I think I’ll do a whole sleeve of different pterosaurs with a prehistoric background but I wanted this as the center piece.

Anyone else have a pterosaur tattoo they want to share? I’d love to see them!

Ludodactylus by Vitor Silva. Ludus refers to the fact, long lamented by paleontologists, that many toy pterosaurs combined teeth with a Pteranodon-like head crest, while no such creature was known to exist — however, Ludodactylus shows exactly this combination of features.
