Enantiornithines for TetZoo (Patreon)

Last week, myself and colleagues published our second paper on the Sebes Formation eggshell accumulation...

Fernández, M. S., Wang, X., Vremir, M., Lauren, C., Naish, D., Kaiser, G. & Dyke, G. 2019. A mixed vertebrate eggshell assemblage from the Transylvanian Late Cretaceous. Scientific Reports 9, 1944. 

It's available free online via Open Access (but let me know if you need help). I've just published a TetZoo article on the paper, and one of the things I wanted to do therein was include a montage of enantiornithines, the group most relevant to the paper. The above image incorporates several (but not all) the enantiornithines I've illustrated so far for The Big Book and you might recall me discussing how they were reconstructed some months ago (about a year ago, actually). From left to right, the animals are Vescornis (lower left), Longirostravis, Avisaurus, Protopteryx (long-tailed, dark face and chest markings), Longipteryx (long-billed), Cratoavis (lower right, long tail) and Corcornis (short-billed, upper right). The final montage for the book features several additional taxa.

Anyway, the TetZoo article is here if you haven't already seen it...

Thanks as always for support! More lizards coming next.
