🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨
Infernodrakon hastacollis is the first ever #pterosaur named from the Hell Creek Formation! (This guy coexisted with #Tyrannosaurus and #Triceratops!) 🦖
The only piece known from it is a single, squished, but mostly complete neck bone, and it has possibly the longest length to width ratio of any other neck bone ever!! 🦴🔥

#Nipponopterus mifunensis is the first ever #pterosaur named from Japan! It’s based on a single, partial neck vertebra that was found to be distinct enough to name a new genus and species!!
I was too sick to make and post art these last two weeks, so any interactions to help me get back on my feet would be insanely helpful and immensely appreciated!!
Favoriting and boosting this post are the best ways to do that!
🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨
Akharhynchus martilli is a new #ornithocheirid #pterosaur from the mid #Cretaceous of #Morocco!
The #holotype is literally just the tip of a jaw, but there were enough features that warranted a new genus and species. The authors were even able to show that it was closely related to the famous #Tropeognathus!
If you like my #cartoons, the best way you can support me and my #art is by favoriting my posts and reblogging them!
🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨
Propterodactylus frankerlae was a #pterosaur from the late Jurassic of Germany, found in the famous Solnhofen limestone all the way back in 2011!
The holotype is a STUNNING specimen that has a bunch of features that match #pterosaurs like #Darwinopterus, but it ALSO has a bunch of features that match pterosaurs like #Pterodactylus!
Please consider reblogging this post and following me for more educational content like this! ☺️

Haliskia peterseni was an anhanguerid pterosaur from the early Cretaceous of Australia! It had an estimated wingspan of about 4.6 meters (≈15 feet), and might’ve ate soft ocean critters!

Torukjara bandeirae is a new species of tapejarid pterosaur from the famous Pterosaur Graveyard site in southern Brazil! It was named both after the Toruks from Avatar, and Kamila Bandeira, a Brazilian paleontologist who first noticed a distinction between what is now two separate pterosaur genera!
I’ll post the next new pterosaur soon! So be sure to stick around to see Haliskia! 👻
