A new #pterosaur has been found in #Germany! Makrodactylus oligodontus is known from a beautiful fossil found in the #Jurassic Mörnsheim Formation. As an early monofenestran pterosaur, it helps fill in a gap in their evolution!

Tough to digest: a small teleosaurid in a regurgitalite from the Upper Jurassic of north-eastern Italy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @LauerFoundation #PapersinPalaeontology @wileyearthspace #FossilFriday
ALT Centre: an overview of the regurgitalite specimen MGP-PD 27566 (pale coloured bones in a fine-grained red matrix). Top left: energy dispersive x-ray emission spectrum for a point on the specimen. Top right: enlargement of an osteoderm from the cluster showing an alternating pattern of circular perforations arranged in columns (scale bar 10 mm). Bottom right: specimen under UV radiation. Bottom left: enlargement of two vertebrae (scale bar 10 mm).
ALT Silhouttes of the various pelagic nektonic vertebrate predators from the Upper Jurassic Rosso Ammonitico Veronese Formation, any of which could have preyed on the teleosaurid at centre. Clockwise from top left: plesiosaur, metriorhynchid, Sphenodus, Notidanodon, ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaur.

Elvis is Extinct! Well, a brand new #pterosaur called Petrodactyle Wellnhoferi is. on #terriblelizards #podcast @dave_hone explains what this flappy flap was doing plus we dive into pterosaur growth and what it tells us they thought about their mothers. terriblelizards.libsyn.com/t…

here is my little portrait of the new Solnhofen boy Petrodactyle, say what you want, I like the name also because Petro... sounds also a little like Peter, like Peter Wellnhofer ;)

I have a far too long and complex paper out cataloguing every known (well, known to me) pterosaur sternum. It's been a bit of a labour of love but it's finally done and out now. Here's a brief summary and link to the actual MS: archosaurmusings.wordpress.c…

14th Conf. on Mesozoic Terrestrial Ecosystems
I'm having a heck of a time getting this information up on various paleosociety newsletters and websites. Being an international meeting never held in the US, I really want to get international exposure. #MTE14 HELP!

A year ago I was in the field in New Mexico with @Simon_D_Wills @LauerFoundation and David & Alison Ward looking for Triassic microverts for a project with @VTechmeetsPaleo and Andy Heckert. It feels like decades ago ... am itching to get into the field

Normally I get a picture taken with my poster @SVP_vertpaleo but this year thanks to my co-author, David Ward I have the poster as a place mat & I can still get a picture! 😁🦈
Still to see it online & ask questions.
