For those who don't know, this is the rather spectacular crested Nyctosaurus--a medium-sized pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous.
I did picture of this pair a few years back [link] where I put sails on them, to go with the skim-sailing hypothesis that was so hot right then. It's not so hot right now, so this is an un-sailed version (which is based on an old painting I did at the same time, but never uploaded anywhere). I've extended the rear-facing prong somewhat, as it seems there were extra bits that weren't obvious in the original description.

I love that blaze or stripe on the crest. Interesting, I didn't realize that the "sail" had fallen out of favor.

私は天資の七人隊の火の手。
I´ve a Pteranodon wip on my shelves right now with a lot of very dark grey-black dorsally like these two. Camouflage for some casting problems, solar energy trap and Black-backed gull look all at the same time.
I still can´t get my head around the aerodynamics of this head crest. It seems so incredible...
