Which is one reason we chose to use KJ1 for 'sail' calculations.
However, the difference in the rami angles wouldn't have a significant

I too would like to see some of the paleoartists restore a Nyctosaurus
without the membrane. We've been looking at only one of two mutually
exclusive scenarios, and I like to see all avenues investigated.
