Also what is the biggest book about dinosaurs, marine reptiles and pterosaurs?
Also what is the biggest book about dinosaurs, marine reptiles and pterosaurs?
Couldn't read the actual paper because my computer is garbage. But anyway, a new study shows that Lagerpetidae may actually be Paraphyletic (including some, but not all descendants of a common ancestor), and just represents an evolutionary grade rather than a natural group. The study suggests that Venetoraptor is closer to true Pterosaurs than anything else. If this is true, then Pterosaurs would technically be nested within Lagerpetidae (since a group must contain a common ancestor and all that evolved from it), and Lagerpetidae would no longer be a valid taxonomic group.
Btw, if you don't know what a Lagerpetid is, they're basically a group of small dinosaur-like Archosaurs closely related to Pterosaurs.

A lot of people hate on this series for lack of prehistoric fauna. I enjoyed (most of) it personally, but I can understand where the haters are coming from.
And this eyesore in "In Cold Blood" sums it up.
In my opinion, the worst scene is the Plesiosaur/Pterosaur/Turtle coasts from an unspecified time in the Mesozoic.
The unnamed Pterosaur, which has pointed wings and long hind limbs, is likely a Pterodactylus,
But, this gigantic unnamed pliosaur (referred to as a higher systematic group, Plesiosauria) appears to be a large Late Jurassic species. But it's quite odd these two are never identified.
It doesn't seem like the writers did any sort of research to find overlapping pterosaur and pliosaur species, or on these two species even. They just slapped them into a scene to check off boxes.
The turtles are also unnamed (shocker). Large sea turtles like Solnhofia lived in the Late Jurassic with Liopleurodon and Pliosaurus funkei, one of which must be the attacker here due to its size.
Basically, LooP vaguely states that marine reptiles and pterosaurs existed. It shows turtles hatching, pterosaurs eating them, and a pliosaur swimming around and eating them.
Scientific inaccuracy isn't this scene's biggest weak point, it's the mere presence of it. The lack of detail given on these two incredible groups just turns it into a bland and argueably unnecessary few minutes.
It's like last minute, they thought "Oh fiddlesticks, we forgot about the other Mesozoic reptiles. Eh, let's just throw 2 random ones in there real quick".
Decided to do another one of these
You can add prehistoric, modern, and fictional creatures
Since some users made late suggestions in the previous part once it was complete, you can suggest the same thing again

The Denali pterosaur is the generic name for an unidentified pterosaur genus known from a few footprints at Denali National Park.
It's thought to be an Azhdarchidae and have a wingspan of around 30 feet
I absolutely love how this crappy website has a fetish for flipping my images upside down
