I haven't read Doderlein's 1923 description of _Anurognathus ammoni_, but Wellnhofer's description of the specimen on pages 271-273 of "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs" (an odd name for a book that includes 170 pages on pterosaurs) doesn't mention anything that would suggest it was immature (BTW, there's a nice photo and drawing of the specimen on page 273 of that book). I have no opinion either way, but I am curious--particularly because of the emphasis you placed on it being >VERY< immature. PTN |
