A new species of pterosaur from specimens found on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, has been announced.
The Isle of Skye used to be a social hotspot for dinosaurs - including T. Rex's ancestors - according to a new study.
Skiphosoura bavarica, a newly discovered Jurassic-era pterosaur, has reshaped our understanding of the evolutionary ...
The study also places the Scottish pterosaur Dearc as a transitional species between early pterosaurs and darwinopterans. Together, Dearc and Skiphosoura complete a nearly unbroken sequence of ...
Another fossil, a Scottish pterosaur called Dearc, was found to sit at a different transitional stage, between early pterosaurs and darwinopterans.
Additionally, it confirmed the placement of Dearc, a Scottish pterosaur, as an earlier transitional form bridging non-pterodactyloids and darwinopterans.
A Scottish pterosaur named Dearc has helped fill the gap between the non-pterodactyloids and the darwinopterans, being the oldest pterosaur we know with a head as long as its body.
