re Sinopterus
Re: Sinopterus
Just came across the JPEG's for this new pterosaur from China.
Looks like it has a skull that is remarkably similar to that of Tapejara,
and skeletal proportions that also match fairly closely to those of
Tapejara and Tupuxuara (e.g. a relatively long wingfinger, and relatively
short metatarsus) so I reckon it must be a tapejarid. First record
outside Gondwanaland too...
