If you purchased a CHINESE PTEROSAUR FOSSIL or CHINESE BIRD FOSSIL, invest the small amount of money to get it X-rayed or better yet, examined by CT scan! Many local imaging centers may do this for FREE just out of curiosity and fascination with fossils.

Restoring the anatomy of any pterosaur starts with the fossil remains. Most pterosaurs are only known from bones, but sometimes soft-tissue impressions present as well. To pin down the general proportions, it is necessary to draw a skeletal diagram.

One of the most striking characteristics of a pterosaur skeleton is the proportions: ... Reconstructing how an animal breathes from fossil bones is not an easy task, but we do have many clues for pterosaurs. Because some of the bones were hollow in many (if not most) species, we know that the respiratory tract had air...
