A new version of my Pterodactylus antiquusskeletal reconstruction in a non-Greg Paul style. A good number of corrections have been made as well so hopefully it is more precise. I made this for comparison with "Pterodactylus" longicollum ([link]), a species of Pterodactylus that almost certainly does not belong to that genus.
I appreciate the non-Paulian format you're using. Much more useful and *ahem* accurate. The 1/2-n-1/2 ventrodorsal aspect is really nice for reference. Useful and accurate. A good addition to a reference library. Two thumbs and two big toes way up! (Does that sound weird?)

The holotype is the primary reference, as always. Some bits that are not well resolved in that specimen are based off other similar specimens.

It was described in Frey, E., Tischlinger, H., Buchy, M.-C., and Martill, D.
