Description
This is the fairly unknown Australian pterosaur, Aussiedraco molnari. It is an Albian age ornithocheiroid pterosaur from Queensland, Australia. It has a horrible name, which translates into Molnar's Aussie Dragon. It is only known from a partial mandibular symphysis, which is the tip of the bottom jaw.To my knowledge, this is also the first reconstruction of Aussiedraco. I may or may not also reconstruct its relative, Mythunga camara.

OK, what was this thing's exact time range (like in mya)?
Also, what was Mythunga's time range?

Thanks, I like them too. In fact, I have a new one just around the corner.

Finally, a reconstruction of this pterosaur! To be honest, I have known about this particular creature for years now, but in an older drawing of mine (it's not on DeviantArt) I gave it a skull much like that of Ornithocheirus, but with arrowhead-shaped crests at the tip of the snout. I literally drew it without any references at all (my artwork was crappy before I joined this site).

It seems that crested pterosaurs are more common than un-crested ones, it's just an educated guess.

It's mostly based off albatrosses
