Hiya, I have 4 more school fact file sheets for #FossilFriday:
#Tianyulong, #Darwinopterus, #Oregramma, and #Caytonia! These are really relaxing to do, and I plan on doing more plants next!
I hope you like them!

Rhamphorhynchus, Dimorphodon & Darwinopterus ~ 🦅
.
These are the finished designs of my ‘big pterosaurs’ for my upcoming Pterosaur Tree design!
.
The whole thing is nearly finished…I can’t wait to share it with you!

What do you guys think?

So for some reason nobody made a Darwinopterus base
Time to fix that heresy

Hetes a Darwinopterus, a 3ft pterosaur discovered in china and was named after Charles Darwin!

[Im not a Paleontologist so my interpretation & information may not be accurate.]

When designing (or in this case redesigning) a character I usually make a colored sketch like this.
A jaded looking Darwinopterus. I have no idea how many of you remember Avery, but this is them.

#Art style range train, show off your range!

Apart from my normal semi-scientific style, I use several other styles depending on the effect i want to give.

Cartoon style done in digital. This image is of a sinosauropteryx in the assic pose on balancing on one foot with its head and tail raised in the air. This one is holding a transfem flag and has a trans coloured tail. A 3D modle of a Darwinopterus pterosaur. It has a fluffy body and neck with naked wings and tail. It's head has a large halfa-heart shaped crest an da long toothy snout with are blue with yellow and orange teardrop shaped patterns. An acrylic painting of a desert landscape with some winding rivers and a still pool. With sporadic plants about. A digital painting of a biolumisecent ammonite holding a clutch of eggs. It is in the dark and illuminated only by its glowing.

Have you seen this model in the #Museum before? It's Darwinopterus, a #pterosaur first described from the Tiaojishan Formation of China in 2010!

The fossil, dating back approximately 160 million years to the Late Jurassic Period, has been named Darwinopterus camposi sp. nov. The study was recently published in the journal Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Science.

Anyone on paleosky have a Darwinopterus skeletal not made by David Peters? Need one for a sculpture reference

The ungual (bone that hosts the claw) morphology is consistent across non-pterodactyloids, from the early Dorygnathus to the transitional Darwinopterus. Despite different body sizes, shapes & environments, the inferred claw shape remained the same. Interesting.
The line art of manual unguals of: C Dorygnathus (MBR 1920.16); D Darwinopterus (IVPP V16049); E Dearc (NMS G.2021.6.1). Scale bar 10 mm

Skiphosoura, a new large darwinopteran pterosaur (by @DaveHone & @SkyeMcDavid) recontextualised Dearc. The elongate cervicals and a long fenestrated skull, make Dearc a "transitional" pterosaur containing patchwork of characters associated with later pterosaurs (pterodactyloids)
Upper left: Nopsca curves of the proportions of major elements of the skeleton scaled against the length of the humerus showing the transition of major proportions. Center: simplified phylogeny showing the transition of key characters in the evolution of pterodactyloids from the rhamphorhynchines and “through” the early monofenestratans. Skeletals showing the transition with representational taxa: Rhamphorhynchus, Dearc, Darwinopterus, Skiphosoura, and Pterodactylus. This shows the transitions of multiple features across the tree: (1) the increasing length of the skull and increase of the size of the naris before fusion to form the NAOF, (2) increase in the length of the cervical series, (3) proportional reduction in the length of the wingfinger and increase in the length of the proximal wing, (4) increase in the length of the first wing phalanx to be the longest of the four phalanges, (5) increase in the length of the wing metacarpal, (6) increase in the size of the prepubes, (7) reduction of the fifth toe, and (8) reduction and simplification of the tail. Reconstructions modified from Unwin,15 Wellnhofer,16 and Witton.1 These are not to scale but are all set to a uniform torso length.
