My understanding is that while the authors suggest that rounded wingtips would be the more efficient shape, but there just isn't enough fossil evidence to show that that was the case for the majority of pterosaurs

I love how the wings form little, shallow cups. Real cool lil detail!

I don't really like taking extant animals and slapping their color pattern on a pterosaur, especially if it's recognizable. But sometimes, I'll find two animals and use the colors of one, but with the pattern of the other!

Continuing my recent trend of #Yanliao beasties, here's an updated, more serious attempt at #Jeholopterus for #FossilFriday!!! The camouflaged colouration is based in #Ginkgo bark, which would have grown in contemporary forests.

This country is making me sad and scared but that’s a good excuse to try to do some more good. I’m raising money with this sticker to help support Brave Space Alliance, a black and trans run organization. Community spaces are so important in uncertain times. 100% of profits donated!
