First Darwinopterus, now this? 2009 should be the year of the pterosaur!

I believe they found a pterasaur "run way" recently that showed how they landed in detail (with a part or two missing).

I think said run away (or some fossil prints akin to that) were already found a few years ago.

Probably. I read little on the subject really and it only appeared on my news network last month.

Nice patterning on the head. It looks pretty small?

Yes kind of small...only 73 cm wingspan.

About the size of your average modern sea bird then

Only that its unlikely that it was a fish eater like them. Its teeth are really unlike those of piscivore pterosaurs like Rhamphorhynchus and Anhanguera
