A new pterosaur from the Solnhofen area dropped two days ago, immediately went into my portrait gallery :3

It's a really nice and completely specimen too

And I love the name, here the paper

#Maysozoic Day 8 - Eryon

i love drawing invertebrates but i also felt like drawing a pterosaur :P (it's also been a while since ive drawn any form of predation that focuses on two animals at once)

here's the prompt list:

homunculus facts¡

homunculi recovered from the late jurassic period in germany seem to have been pickled in deep brine pools in the area• paleoalchemists surmise that they may have mistaken them for the potion•

alchemists in the deep south during prohibition were known for using a moonlight potion' this is the origin of the term „moonshiners•„

i once took apart warren,s computer and incorporated some of its parts into one of my arms• it tickles when i lay on that side•

i ate a cork yesterday• this morning i pooped out an egg• probably unrelated•

happy anniversary of the death of louis xvi•

My 21st entry for Jurassic June 2023: Two Rhamphorhynchus muensteri plunge into the warm, shallow tropical waters of what is now the Solnhofen Formation of Germany in pursuit of fish to eat, 150-148 million years ago.

reconstruction of Archaeopteryx

Archaeopteryx fossil - Berlin specimen

Paleontologists have long thought that Archaeopteryx ('ancient feather' or 'ancient wing') fossils placed the dinosaur at the base of the bird evolutionary tree. Recent evidence suggests the beast may be best described as a birdlike dinosaur rather than an early bird, though it probably could fly after a fashion. Archaeopteryx is about 150 million years of age, while the ancestor of all living birds lived sometime in the Late Cretaceous — 50 to 65 million years ago.

In 1861, the first Archaeopteryx skeleton, which was missing most of its head and neck, was unearthed near Langenaltheim, Germany. However, the most complete skeleton, the Berlin Specimen, was discovered in 1874 or 1875 near Eichstatt, Germany by farmer Jakob Niemeyer, who sold it in 1876 to innkeeper Johann Dörr. Through various transactions, the fossil, which is the first found to have an intact head, eventually wound up being in the Humboldt Museum fur Naturkunde, where it still resides. To date there have been 11 other Archaeopteryx fossils found, the latest discovered in 2010 (described in 2014). All of the fossils come from the limestone deposits near Solnhofen. Recent tests performed on the specimens indicate that the primary coloring of the feathers of Archaeopteryx were black, possibly with lighter colored tips.

Jurassic deposits of Solnhofen limestone in southern Germany are marked by rare but exceptionally well preserved fossils of many species. It was first quarried nearly 2,000 years ago by the Romans who used the stone for paving roads and building walls. In later Roman times the mosaic floor of the church of Hagia Sofia in Istanbul was made of this limestone. In the Middle Ages, the stone was also used as floor and roofing material, and artisans used the material in the making of bas-relief sculptures and headstones. A decisive turning point in the history of the stone was the determination in 1673 by Alois Senefelder that the dense, fine-grained material was ideally-suited for use in the newly discovered printing process of lithography, a use that caused quarrying to increase dramatically.

[quotesfromall]

Ecosystems are often dominated by a small number of species that are represented by numerous individuals and make up much of the biomass, and so it is inevitable that many taxa will be rare and hard to find. Thus, ongoing excavations will be necessary to provide more thorough pictures of the diversity and disparity of lineages such as pterosaurs and to build a more complete picture of their history

Would you want to travel sometime in the future? Not just the US, but the world in general? Europe for instance.

yes!! i actually have a trip to italy set up for next year :)) idk about much more than that, grad school will be a massive time commitment but… i will get to do some traveling due to the nature of the program, sooo 🥳

i’d love to visit germany, too!! so many cool fossils, i very much want to see the solnhofen limestone and the associated museums—where the first beautifully preserved archaeopteryx was found!!!

also, as a personal goal. i wanna go to mongolia…… i am a huge fan of wide open space and i want to eat horse in their native habitat

#i also wanna see thailand #bhutan #botswana #cambodia too!! #i don’t have an urge to see most places like japan the UK and all that.. idk #would eating horse out in the west US count even if they went extinct there 12k years ago?? #oooh i also wanna visit argentina!!! patagonia specifically #and chile #and colombia #too much world not enough housecow #talk #ask #i’m going to alaska next month :3
