Artist's Comments

All pterosaurs from Late Jurassic Europe known from sufficient remains. All reconstructions are to scale.

16-02-2007 : A new version made directly in Illustrator (as opposed to a raster collage of formerly vector images). Also includes Ctenochasma porocristata, which I foolishly forgot to include in the original. Dimensions modified slightly as well so that it can fit nicely on A series paper. There scale bar has also been modified slightly so that it would look better if it is printed life-size.

Man sometimes new discoveries can be a real bitch. Pterodactylus looked way better without that crest.

I think your reconstructions are always important references to all of us. Great work, friend! =)

Yes, very good stuff Captain!

Are the tiny "pterodactylus" species still considered to be adults, or are they juvies?

It seems to me that they are likely juveniles, however, they also seem to be either juveniles of different species from the adults or juveniles of indeterminate species.
