"Rhamphorhynchus muensteri" — 2013

Rhamphorhynchus muensteri was a medium-sized pterosaur from the Late Jurassic of Germany. It is known from dozens of excellent fossils, including one of the best Mesozoic fossils I know of, the famous darkwing specimen.

"#Rhamphorhynchus was a #pterosaur that lived in what is now Germany during the late #Jurassic period, between 150 and 148 million years ago. The adults measured about 1.2 meters long from beak to tail and had wingspans of about six feet (1.8 meters) wide. When alive Rhamphorhynchus would have eaten meat, mostly in the form of #fish and other marine life."

Harpactognathus gentryii (har-pakt-og-nathe-us jen-tree-ee-eye) was a scaphognathine #pterosaur, related to #Scaphognathus, and more distantly, #Rhamphorhynchus! It lived in what's now Wyoming during the late #Jurassic.
Its generic name translates to "snatching jaw", in reference to how #toothy and gnarly those #jaws would have been.

Here is Caelestiventus hanseni! One of the few #pterosaurs discovered from the #Triassic!

This definitely has one of the best names of any #pterosaur! Its generic name translates to “heavenly wind”, which is definitely up there with #Sordes and #Cryodrakon!

"Please welcome #Petrodactyle wellnhoferi. Fully laid out in wingspan it’s just over 2 m so comparable (but a bit larger than) the largest known #Rhamphorhynchus and larger than any of the other #pterodactyloids in the #Solnhofen beds."
