Re: [dinosaur] Paper Pterodactylus: Critiques?

Hi Grant;

What about incorporating the hindlimbs into the wing, so that from above the wing piece would look moe like the silhouettes shown here: https://longrichpaleolab.com/blog/

News – Longrich Paleo Lab longrichpaleolab.com Pterosaur survival up to the K-Pg Boundary Our latest publication Longrich et al. 2018 shows a high diversity of pterosaurs up to their final extinction during the K-Pg mass extinction (66 MYA).

Hi everybody,

I have a side job creating children's educational activities for a 
blog. For one of these, I've made a simple paper model of Pterodactylus.

You can see two pictures of it here:

I think it's pretty good, but I would love to hear any critiques, and 
whether anything stands out as being wrong with it. Proportions, 
shapes, positions of body parts, anything like that. I don't want to 
put out something inaccurate.

(I know it's only got one wing. It will have two when it's finished.)

Thanks so much!
