       T"was ever thus! And John's restorations just get better and better 
and certainly deserved more space in the Geographic article.
       I do have a question, however. In those instances where we do have a 
fossil that unequivocally shows the attachment of the trailing edge of the 
pterosaur wing (if such specimens exist), where is it? Does it vary? Do bats 
show variation in trailing edge attachment sites? DV
