- Anurognathids may have had feathers! Don’t quote me on that.
- Nyctosaurus, one of the fanciest flappy bois
- The paper which named "pycnofibres"
- Pterodactylus kochi with preservation of neck tissue. Source indicates that it is P. scolopaciceps rather than P. kochi. Both of these species have since been moved out of the Pterodactylus genus, and it’s unclear to me to which species and genus this should now be attributed. Comments and clarifications welcome.

- De La Beche was indeed a slave owner! We don't like him.
