“Palaeornis” cliftii is among the earliest British pterosaur discoveries. Although considered a dubious taxon by most recent authors, the type and only specimen is presently recognized as an azhdar...

In some cases there are good chunks of gill arches that are straight. But gill arches should have filaments on just one side; Bakiribu has them on both sides. Preservation is very bad, but this is observable in some places, but was ignored by Unwin et al

Thanks, @skyemcdavid.com <3 A reply is in the works and we do have plenty of new microscopic evidence that will reinforce the pterosaurian nature of Bakiribu. It will take us some time to wrap up the manuscript, though.

This preprint (from authors who have not seen the specimen) is biased by anatomical misinterpretations and overlooks tooth histology and implantation. I suggest readers remain cautious. We also have further data that will help elucidate the matter. Stay tuned!

Hi! I just replied you on X and will paste my reply here: I'm terribly sorry, that was definitely not my intention. Perhaps that was phrased poorly. I did mean to support your conclusions, and then to just refer readers to the opposing views so they would have context. Did this come off differently?

⚠️Pterosaur alert🔔 Please welcome Gobiazhdarcho and Tsogtopteryx, two azhdarchids from the Bayanshiree Fm. of the Gobi Desert, Mongolia! Despite known only from cervical remains, these elements are surprisingly informative for Azhdarchidae and help us ID them quite well [+]

Some issues with this. "Looks like"? Let's see the CT scans of the skeleton and teeth: that will tell us if they are morphologically similar to Aenocyon dirus rather than Canis lupus. "Act like"?!?!?! We don't **KNOW** what they acted like! Kind of a big issue in paleo!

The specimen is a partial neck vertebra. Despite fragmentary, neck vertebrae are superbly informative regarding azhdarchid diversity and phylogeny. Luckily, enough anatomical detail is preserved, allowing for the identification of autapomorphies... [2/3]
