Rhamphorhynchus, the Beak Snout

(image source: https://fossil.fandom.com/wiki/Rhamphorhynchus) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Ben O’Regan discuss Rhamphorhynchus, a sea pterosaur with a lot of pointy teeth and even more unnecessary H’s in its name. No word should have that many ‘H’ letters in it, and if you disagree, shhhh! From the Late Jurassic, this six-foot wingspan pterosaur had a big pointy fin at the end of its tail that inspired a lot of dragon art, which is pretty cool. Not as cool as if this thing somehow actually breathed fire, but hey, I’ll take it. Want to further support the show?
