The restaurant I went to tonight with friends had paper tablecloths and coloured pencils "for children to draw with". So I created some Fellows while waiting for pizza :)

Featuring Big Steppy the Edaphosaurus, King Chungo the Vast and Terrible the Cotylorhynchus, and Ramfy Rinkus the Rhamphorhynchus

Hello, I’ve been making more paleoart recently so I’m gonna be updating this blog again after so many years lol.

To begin, some pterosaurs from a while ago.

I’m extremely proud of this life-size Dearc even if it took me way too long to finish it. It has a fully pose-able plastic jointed skeleton and fibreglass wing struts, as well as little ties to keep it’s wing membrane under control when in a “landed” position. This was one of those projects that kinda spiralled out of control. I probably won’t ever make another one... You can find it over here: https://www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/dearc

Obsessed with the colors on my random progen. Here's a quick sketch of him as a loosely accurate rhamphorhynchus because I've had pterosaur fever lately.

Here's my gene plan for him (and how he currently looks under the cut.) Orange/tangerine/sky

Strange Symmetries #12: Pterosaur Crossing

Rhamphorhynchus muensteri was one of the first pterosaurs known to science, and its snaggletoothed snout and long vaned tail have become classic features of many fictional "pterodactyls". But despite its prevalence in pop culture depictions, it actually seems to have been quite a highly specialized pterosaur compared to its closest relatives – and a few specimens also seem to have an unusual little bit of asymmetry going on.

Living during the Late Jurassic, about 150-145 million years ago, around the warm shallow seas of what is now southeast Germany, Rhamphorynchus had a a wingspan of up to at least 1.8m (~6'), with larger fragmentary fossils suggesting a maximum of around 3m (~9'10").

It had proportionally long wings, splaying intermeshing needle-like teeth, and a toothless beak at the tip of its jaws. The lower beak hooked strongly upwards, while the upper seems to have varied from upwards-curving to straight to downward-curving in different individuals – and some of these arrangements mean the keratinous beak tips must have crossed when the jaws closed, twisting to each side to asymmetrically pass each other similarly to modern crossbill birds.

Several specimens have been found with fish and cephalopod remains preserved in their guts, and along with the pointy intermeshing teeth this indicates Rhamphorhynchus was probably mainly piscivorous, occupying a similar ecological role to modern seabirds.

The different shapes of the toothless jaw tips may suggest there were several distinct populations of this pterosaur species exploiting slightly different food sources to each other, and the crossing beaks may have been an adaptation to pry the soft parts out of hard-shelled prey.

My 21st entry for Jurassic June 2023: Two Rhamphorhynchus muensteri plunge into the warm, shallow tropical waters of what is now the Solnhofen Formation of Germany in pursuit of fish to eat, 150-148 million years ago.

Picture 547. Rhamphorhýnchus (Pterosauria). Solnhofen in Bayern.

In the air there was flying lizards (picture 547), small sparrow- sized and large hawk-sized ones, as well as older, long-tailed forms and younger, short-tailed. Only the latter mentioned lived beyond the Jurassic. A few fluttered like bats, others soared over the waters like gulls on long wings to catch fish with long, hook-like, outward-turning teeth. A few of the small species might have been insectivores. They probably climbed and crawled like bats. When resting they held on with their fingers, not their toes, and thus hung in an upright position. The shapeless fifth finger provided support to the flying membrane, which extended to the arms and hips of the body. Only this part of the flying membrane is preserved as fossilis, but it is assumed that the membrane was also between the neck and wrist. Some species had a sail in the tail. Pterosaurs and birds have many similar characteristics in their bodies, which are caused by the body conforming to the same way of living. Sternum was large in pterosaurs, bones were hollow. Vertebrae were fused together and made the body sturdy, which was necessary.
