Artist's Comments

Pteranodon sternbergi, a 6-8m wingspanned pterosaur from Late Creataceous North America soars over a choppy sea - generating lift from wind over the waves, just like an albatross.

By the way, while you're here, I've decided to join the blogoshere, with the appallingly stupidly named Philosophica Neopalaeontographica [link] . If you've got a blog on palaeo/science/philosophy, let me know and I'll subscribe.

Awsome :), interesting angle as well, not the usual view you see pterosaurs at.

these seem to have a reduced crest, are they the ones thought to be female?

This is how I remember the dance moves we pulled off at the Roxy that night... Top stuff!

Lovely! The black and white color scheme works very well...
Are those females, by any chance?

Absolutely amazing, like the rest of your pterosaur scenes.
