It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… a dinosaur? Nope to all of the above. This Fossil Friday, let’s talk about pterosaurs—the first animals with bones to evolve powered flight. Though they were related to dinosaurs, pterosaurs evolved on a separate branch of the reptile family tree. They ruled the skies for more than 150 million years, evolving into dozens of different species. Some were as small as a paper airplane while others, like Pteranodon pictured here in the Museum's Hall of Late Dinosaurs circa 1940-1960, had a wingspan of more than 20 ft (6 m).

Along with other large pterosaurs, Pteranodon longiceps was first discovered in western Kansas, near a chalk formation called Monument Rocks. Today the region is dry, but at the time this species lived, about 85 million years ago, central North America was covered by a seaway. This large pterosaur likely spent its days flying over the sea. Unlike early species of pterosaurs, Pteranodon and many other Cretaceous-era species didn’t have any teeth. In fact, its genus name means “winged and toothless,” while the second name, longiceps, means “long-headed.”

Today, you can find Pteranodon in the Hall of Vertebrate Origins. We're open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm! Plan your visit.

Henry, I fucked up. I'm sorry. I deserve what happened to me. I deserved to be stuck in that awful room in the dark for like 30 years. I'm not gonna say that what I did was an accident, because it wasn't. I wanted to kill them. I was fucked up. You didn't deserve what happened, and neither did Charlie (and maybe Sammy if he existed in my cannon). I deserved to burn. I deserved to be in constant agony, unable to die. I think I was jealous of your Daughter (and maybe Sammy) because of the attention you gave them. I, a grown ass man was jealous of LITTERAL CHILDREN. I was fucking obsessed with you. What the fuck. Sorry, even though no apologies could make up for the suffering I caused you, and everyone else.

Something very BIG and LONG is walking your way...

it will arrive tomorrow...

sir Precious!!!
