More on pterosaur trackways

A recent study has examined the known pterosaur trackways and has found previously unseen diversity and alignment with three major clades: Ctenochasmatoidea, Dsungaripteridae and Neoazhdarchia. This is consistent with these pterosaurs being among the most terrestrial of their kind, and neatly showcases these clades’ evolutionary history across time (though with caveats like the parcity of the fossil reccord across some eras).

A few negative notes:

• This study still seems to ignore the non-pterodactyloid trackways, which I addressed previously.
• They seem to ignore the Late Cretaceous dsungaripteroid trackways.

It’s a shame, but otherwise the study is sound.
