Thalassodromeus, the Ocean Runner

(image source: https://dinosaurpictures.org/Thalassodromeus-pictures) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Ben O’Regan discuss Thalassodromeus, a medium-sized pterosaur with a really, really big crest for its size; in fact potentially the biggest cranial crests of any vertebrate! Damn, you didn’t need to go that hard, Mr. Thalass! From the Early Cretaceous, this 15-foot pterodactyloid is highly contentious in its placement in the pterosaur family tree, but currently it’s believed to be a tapejarid pterodactyloid. Give one out to the paleontologists for solving all of society’s real problems. Want to further support the show? Sign up to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content at Patreon.com/MatthewDonald.
