Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.Abstract Recent work has suggested that the presence of extraoral soft tissues (‘lips’), in the form of labial scales in theropod dinosaurs, could be inferred based on: anteroposteriorly distributed foramina in the rostral bones, similar to extant lepidosaurs; vertically projected teeth; uniform enamel thickness in maxillary teeth; and an allometric ...

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, 2026.Abstract There is a growing consensus that pterosaurs and the flightless Lagerpetidae are closely related. This relationship is supported by apomorphies throughout the skeleton, including endocranial character states such as a well‐developed floccular fossa and a tall anterior semicircular canal. Our knowledge of lagerpetid anatomy has been improved by

A Review of the Taxonomy and Palaeoecology of the Anurognathidae (Reptilia, Pterosauria)
Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, 2020 AbstractThe anurognathids are an enigmatic and distinctive clade of small, non‐pterodactyloid pterosaurs with an unusual combination of anatomical traits in the head, neck, wings and tail. They are known from very limited remains and few have been described in detail, and as a result, much of their biology remains uncertain.
