It was described today and I was lucky enough to be commissioned to reconstruct this amazing species.
Haliskia was a huge Anhanguerian pterosaur from the late Early Cretaceous of Australia. It had a ca. 4.6 m wingspan

A museum curator in Queensland found it in 2021 and it was described in 2024. It's the most complete pterosaur skeleton ever found in Australia, more than twice as complete as the next best.
Next: $20,000, Eotephradactylus.

Before birds ruled the skies, pterosaurs did. A newly described Australian species — Haliskia peterseni — offers a fresh look at how these ancient reptiles once soared over the Early Cretaceous seas, revealing more about flight, evolution, and life in a vanished world.

Found on Skye in 2006, described in 2024, and only the second pterosaur ever named from Scotland. Middle Jurassic, an interval where pterosaur fossils are scarce. The name means mist wing.
Next: $18,000, Haliskia.

I spoke with Dr. Adele Pentland, lead author of the study in Scientific Reports, about the fossil’s discovery, what makes Haliskia unique, and how each find reshapes our view of these prehistoric animals.
