A fossil of a pterosaur, a type of flying reptile from the Mesozoic Era (Pterodactylus antiquus) It's wings, limbs, body, head, feet etc, are all over the place in this fossil, and look a little manic tbh. It makes for a nice design though, artistic. Extra info: These fossils are often found in fine-grained limestone, which helps preserve delicate structures like wing membranes. (Here it looks like the stone is a very smooth cream coloured marble or slate. Unlike dinosaurs, pterosaurs were flying reptiles that lived from approximately 215 to 66 million years ago. They were the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight. They had hollow bones and wings made of skin stretched between a single finger and their body.
