#triassic pterosaurs

Caviramus was another crested Late Triassic pterosaur. Raeticodactylus likely also belongs to this genus.

And coming away from how current classification gives the impression the vertebral extensions that stiffened the tails would have to evolve multiple times.

This one was tricky as I couldn’t find any pictures off the fossils, just numeric proportions and a skeletal. The pose it meant to be for display by holding the wings up to flash the red and white markings.

Raeticodactylus had a wingspan of about 1.35m (~4.5 ft) and likely ate fish. It is known from a disarticulated skeleton that includes an almost complete skull. Unusually for such an early pterosaur, Raeticodactylus had a crest. It’s possible that it is synonymous with Caviramus, or they are sister taxa.  

This one is another little guy with short wings and big feet. Articodactylus had a wingspan of about 2 ft and was unearthed in Greenland, hence its name.
