The microarchitecture of fossil pterosaur bones could hold the key to lighter, stronger materials for the next generation of ...

The team used state-of-the-art X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) to scan the fossil bones at near sub-micrometre resolution, resolving complex structures approximately 20 times smaller than the width of ...

Computed tomography (CT) scan of the skull of Anhanguera, a112-million-year-old pterosaur from Brazil. Our pterosaur collection contains approximately 1,000 specimens and casts, from isolated ...

The first pterosaurs had a sail-like tensioning system for flying with potentially cumbersome tail vanes, which they could have used for displays, a new study finds. When you purchase through ...

Despite living hundreds of millions of years apart, pterosaurs may be more similar to modern-day birds than previously ...

The microarchitecture of fossil pterosaur bones could be replicated to develop materials for the next generation of aircraft, new research from Manchester University has found. Microscopic ...

NAGASHIMA, Kagoshima Prefecture--A fossil of a pterosaur, a flying reptile from about 100 million years ago, has been discovered in Kagoshima Prefecture for the first time, according to Nagashima ...

One pterosaur species gave itself quite the makeover as it grew older and larger. Scientists have spent more than a century wondering if a large and anatomically quirky flying reptile fossil ...

A new analysis of pterosaur bones, however, suggests that their microstructure could inspire lighter, stronger aircraft materials. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that lived throughout the world ...

Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that lived alongside dinosaurs, dominating the skies throughout the Mesozoic Era (66 million to 252.2 million years ago). They were the first vertebrates on the ...
