Nathan E. Rogers is painting Inabtanin alarabia for the book. Named in 2024 from Jordan, with a wingspan of 17 feet. CT scans of its arm bone show the crisscrossed struts of a flapping flier, not a soarer like its giant neighbor Arambourgiania. Nathan has painted over a dozen plates in the guide.

Dark card reading NOW PAINTING above Inabtanin alarabia in italic, with paleoartist Nathan E. Rogers's photo in a circle and his DeviantArt handle below his name. Footer reads fossi.ls/ks.

Every illustration in Pterosaurs: The Field Guide was painted by humans. Every word was written by Pete Buchholz. No generative AI, and none ever. If you've seen AI paleoart, you already know the difference. fossi.ls/ks

I got a #3Dprinter! I have an idea for a #tabletop #Dinosaur survival game - would anyone be interested in such a thing? Dice are my own sculpt, and the #figurine is a Citipati oviraptorosaur model I made, printed at roughly 1:60 scale on a 30mm base. More to come. #miniature #paleoart #3dmodel

Two dinosaur-themed 6-sided dice and a miniature figurine of Citipati, an oviraptorosaur theropod dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period. The figurine is roughly 1:60 scale on a 30mm base.

Minnesota
End of the Ice Age
Sometime around 10,000 years ago

An ancestor of the loons we see today paddles through a newly-formed lake as the glacial ice sheet retreats, and the moldering remains of a grand old pachyderm, a Woolly Mammoth, sink into the earth.

I made this digital painting with Krita and a Wacom tablet, running on Linux.

It’s been a long time coming but the new Pteros website is finally here! Over the next few weeks, we will be adding new pterosaurs, new exhibits and eventually 3D paleoglobes showing fossil localities. We will also be making a major book announcement in the coming months. Hope you enjoy! pteros.com
