DD1991 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 A new pterosaur-related paper is available online: David M. Martill; Roy Smith; David M. Unwin; Alexander Kao; James McPhee; Nizar Ibrahim (2020). A new tapejarid (Pterosauria, Azhdarchoidea) from the mid-Cretaceous Kem Kem beds of Takmout, southern Morocco. Cretaceous Research. in press: Article 104424. doi:10.1016/j.cretres.2020.104424. Afrotapejara represents the second non-Alanqa azhdarchoid pterosaur from the Kem Kem beds of Morocco, and niche partitioning could explain the presence of more than one azhdarchoid taxon from the Kem Kem Beds. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordTrilobite Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Can't find a link anywhere. I can only find the reference on wikipedia, but that doesn't have a link either. Can't find it on Cretaceous Research either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LordTrilobite Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks. Sucks that so many of the Kem Kem pterosaur papers are paywalled. Interesting.... I was looking at the low resolution images. Opened them in a new tab. I noticed that the end of the link was named .sml, which makes sense for small images. I then right out some things, and found out if I replaced the .sml with .jpg I could just view the high resolution images. So for everyone's benefit. Here are those high res images that can be viewed on their site, only it's a bit of a hassle to change the links. Click to enlarge. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All about $$$$$$$ With all these newly named pterosaurs based on partial elements I still have to wonder if we are not looking at sexual dimorphism or ontogeny. Maybe the KK was a unique ecosystem 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
