Thanks for posting...looks like a excellent paper for those interested in pterosaurs.  A summary was definitely needed

I like this one, especially the Spino lurking in the background lol

Thanks! Very interesting!

Forgot to mention, found this odd in the paper since Ibrahim was one of the co-authors.  Will be interesting to see how future publications on the KK Basin treat these schemes

Thanks you, very interesting

Thank you very much for sharing. Such a paper on Pterosaurs was more than necessary. Enough reading for now, very interesting.

I'm just speculating but seeing as the paper was in peer review for a long time (submitted to the journal in February of 2022), the writing of the paper was probably done during 2020-2021. Perhaps there was not enough time to incorporate the new stratigraphy (or the authors didn't feel like revising an already written stratigraphy section ). 

 

Also, I wonder just which sections were written by the professors compared to which were written by their co-author students. Stratigraphy seems like the sort of easy section that a senior author would pawn off for a student to write.

Thanks thats very plausible if the paper was written that far back.
