#geosternbergia

Another entry for Jurassic June(-ior), some pterosaurs! These are the Pteranodon from Jurassic World and the Geosternbergia that was present in concept art for The Lost World. The final movie used an actual Pteranodon, I guess I was just going for bonus points.

In other news, I gave them a healthy coating of pycnofibers (feather-like filaments on pterosaurs) even though, for instance, the JW Pteranodon is leathery and bare. This was based on the fact that birds like the Australian Ibis can have bald patches in adulthood that are feathery when young. Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I’m trying to somewhat appease the proper paleo people as well. Enjoy!
