Idealizing several opinions and evidence for facial soft-tissue in a pterosaur, the issue of "striated crests" came up, given that there's some harping on how "striations" = keratin crests.

I made 'bats' for Halloween as well... (Anurognathus)
Though I'll probably stock these at other times as well haha. Silly little things!

A plush of a small pterosaur with a round, fluffy brown body and darker brown wings. It has big eyes and a short face, but no visible mouth. It's gliding over a bat patterned fabric background. The little pterosaur in a perching pose propped up by its arms. Small whiskers are visible on its face.

A pterosaur gargoyle girl, based on a picture of a real-life pterosaur gargoyle I saw once

#asfr #petrification #石化 #固め
A pterosaur gargoyle girl with batlike wings on her arms, three-clawed feet, short hair, pointy ears, glowing yellow eyes and a tank top, seated on a perch on the side of a building at night. The pterosaur gargoyle girl petrified during the day, her eyes now smoothed over and her body now full of small cracks. Same as the first image, except the pterosaur gargoyle girl has exposed breasts. Same as the second image, except the pterosaur gargoyle girl has exposed breasts.

Also on #pterosaurs, Dinosaur Isle is home to the life-sized pterosaur heads made by @markwitton.bsky.social and team for the 2010 Royal Society Summer Science Festival. It's great that they found a permanent home (and sad that the life-sized azhdarchids never did)...

The holotype of the anhanguerian pterosaur Caulkicephalus is also on show. Its name means 'caulk head', a term once used for Isle of Wight people in the boat-building industry. A name also commemorated in this Sandown pub... #pterosaurs

New interactive globes on Pteros! Most of our pterosaur pages now show where each animal lived, on the Earth as it was then. Spin it, lay it flat, tap a fossil site. Pteranodon's fossil sites sit in the sea that once split North America in two. fossi.ls/pteros-maps

But things were cramped. Plans to move to a new site were realised in 2001 when the old museum closed, and Dinosaur Isle opened. Here it is as of 2019. It's a pterosaur-shaped building...

Gilded Pterosaur - Locust IIC
The background is of a rocky orange-brown desert and the floor is soft white. In front of the background is a BattleTech mini for a Locust IIC, a thin angular chassis with an antenna on the rear. The mini is painted in splotches of orange, cyan, and aquamarine green with a dark blue cockpit

Who else did Jordan & see on our adventures?? Quetzalcoatlus, OF COURSE!

Jordan's reaction: pure joy

My reaction: pure terror.

What happened at the October Andy's Toy Fair, you ask? Some interesting variants, most notable being the 1990 crestless version of the DinoRiders Quetzalcoatlus. Toy fairs and vintage toy sales are on the up. Several reasons for this, I could write an essay.

Painted a handsome pterosaur fellow before bed. Slowly but surely getting a little more confidence doing painterly pieces.☺️

Talking next week on Speculative Zoology and the legacy of Dougal Dixon's The New Dinosaurs, which I see as an emissary of the dinosaur renaissance and a subversive effort to bring avant garde dinosaurs and pterosaurs to the masses.
Original, 1988 The New Dinosaurs at left and 2025 republished version at right, with other relevant books in image. Montage from Naish (2026). Several animals of TND pre-empt palaeontological discoveries and proposals. (A) The Lank of TND (illustration by Steve Holden; from Dixon (2025)) is a large flightless pterosaur that walks with a pacing gait and consumes grasses. (B) Witton & Naish (2008) proposed that azhdarchids were ‘terrestrial stalkers’, inviting comparisons between pterosaurs and giraffes. (C) The Dip of TND (illustration by Denys Ovenden; from Dixon (2025)), a long-faced, piscivorous coelurosaur. (D) Reconstruction of an unenlagiine, a long-faced maniraptoran with piscivorous adaptations. (E) The Pangaloon of TND (illustration by John Butler; from Dixon (2025)), a pangolin-like, terrestrial arbrosaur. (F) Reconstruction of an alvarezsaurid, a maniraptoran with pick-like forelimb and possible insect-eating adaptations. Front and rear covers of the 2025 edition of Dougal Dixon’s The New Dinosaurs: An Alternative Evolution. The large theropod is a Cutlasstooth; to its right is a flightless pterosaur termed the Flarp. The rear cover shows (at top) a Sandle (at left, a fossorial theropod) and the head of a Gwanna, and (at bottom, left to right) a male Dingum (an Australasian coelurosaur), a Bricket (a Palaearctic lambeosaur) and a Nauger (a woodpecker-like arbrosaur).

Happy #FossilFriday! A new study reveals the first dentary crest in Brasileodactylus araripensis, a Cretaceous pterosaur from Brazil. This discovery highlights how growth and sexual dimorphism may have shaped pterosaur evolution and taxonomy.

I've been there a few times and don't remember twigging that it was pterosaur-shaped. I blame the rain.
