Going through a small private collection that we recently acquired I came across this incredible specimen:
It looks like a pachypleurosaur with a difference – it appears to have had wings. This is probably a preservational artifact, but having seen the original specimen with my own eyes it really doesn’t look like the fossil or the matrix around it has been faked.
There have been (and still are) lots of unusual gliding lizards out there, from Sharovipteryx to Draco volans, but this one is different in seeming to have specialised structures for the wings that are not adaptations of existing body parts. I will describe this in more detail, but for now I tentatively propose the name Aprilpleurosaurus primus.
Four legs and two wings ? Yeah, right.
What day is today, again ?
Four legs and two wings, like Draco volans… wings aren’t necessarily formed from limbs, ribs are also used.
However, the name is a give-away…
To be honest, Sharovipteryx sounds like it is an earlier version of what this
whoops! … appears to be
Do these look like ribs to you ?
Very well done
what day is it today!!!!!
Nah, that’s just Keichousaurus wheeeeeeeee !
this goes against evolution…
