Mrs Pterodactyl

[Adios]

A pterosaur has been found in China beautifully preserved with an egg.

The egg indicates this ancient flying reptile was a female, and that realisation has allowed researchers to sex these creatures for the first time.

Writing in Science magazine, the palaeontologists make some broad statements about gender differences in pterosaurs, including the observation that only males sported a head-crest.

Looking back at the movies, for the most part it was only the Raptors and maybe trex that caused any problems for the humans

A tiny distant cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex has been discovered in China with only a single claw on each forelimb.

Linhenykus monodactylus weighed no more than a large parrot and was found in sediments between 84 and 75 million years old.

The dinosaur belongs to a sub-branch of the theropods, the dinosaur group which includes T.rex and Velociraptor, and which gave rise to modern birds.

Details are published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Another cool find.

Why are all the good findings coming from China?

Why are all the good findings coming from China?

Big land area, with a lot of geological traits that are likely to yield fossils (i.e. sedimentary deposits).

Also, dinosaurs love Communism. Which is why they're extinct.

Read the books. The Pterodactyls were ASSHOLES.

You also forgot the Spitter.

Good to see the concept art including the feathers more often.


Jurassic Park would have been awesome if the dinos where feathered like they should have been.
