- Mark Witton’s excellent book, Pterosaurs
- 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.
- Pterosaur posture in water, with bonus information on how they would have taken off!
- Pterodaustra, a much cooler pterosaur than Pterodactylus
- The confusing history of study of pterosaur locomotion
- How Dimorphodon helped us understand how pterosaurs walked
- De La Beche was indeed a slave owner! We don't like him.
