More new pterosaurs: Eudimorphodon (Patreon)

Sorry for my silence here, I've been out of things for weeks due to a heavy workload (I'm working on a dinosaur-themed TV series....), the death of my dog, Willow (I wrote about her here:  http://tetzoo.com/blog/2019/5/24/lessons-from-a-dog-a-life-with-willow) and preparation for my talk at the Cheltenham Science Fair.

Anyway -- I still have several pterosaurs to draw, and here's the latest: Eudimorphodon. This reconstruction was produced by taking measurements the holotype of E. ranziii, data on tail length and so on added from other eudimorphodontid taxa. The tail vane is speculative. You might note here that I've taken to showing the 5th toe as being kept bent posterodorsally and dorsally when the animals walk on the ground, this meaning that the uropatagium is mostly retracted when the animal has its wings closed.

The colour scheme is inspired by that of birds that feed around water, the banding on the tail is related to the idea that the tail was used in signalling. 

More pterosaurs to come...
