Look at this thing, absolutely crazy. This thing lived right at the end of the dinos, with T rex and Triceratops, in the same environment. Those mighty claws were for busting open ant hives and it used its tongue to slurp em. The teeth were tiny and lovely and barely did nothing.

They also found a toucanosaurus

seems like pterasaurs evolved from a kind of tree dwelling archosaur and went through a gliding phase before eventually becoming immensely gigantic and powerful. Like if bats became 40' across.

Alvarezsaurs have been known for years, get with the times.

Now this I'd like to hear more about, did they actually finally find a possible pterosaur ancestor?

yeah they did a bunch of scans and stuff it seems like lagerpetids are the missing ancestors were there the whole time




also the legs were arranged like some some primates and lizards currently have their legs are and weren't just for walking around on the ground. They would have been bipedal on the ground but spent a lot of time vertically climbing and jumping, if this is the real deal.

Those mighty claws are 2 cm long. An anteater could gently caress this idiot emu up with great ease

Actually they would be friends

that means there's no hope to defeat the inevitable skeleton uprising

Ironically these are the very skeletons that begin the war, every time someone messes around with causality using time tech it always goes wrong

No way they found a loving dinosaur, dinosaurs hated to gently caress. That's why they died out.

there's substantial evidence of dinosaur loving for example you can view many life reconstructions of this on deviantart.com

Wow cool, I'll have to read more on that. Though looks like those lagerpetid guys are pretty poorly known themselves.

Ezcurra et al 2020 Nature 588: 445-449 is i guess where that came from

two hundred million years of evolution and one dick sucking fossil is all that is preserved. We don't know that Phallosuchus fellator ONLY sucked dong, merely that it was into it.
