Description Solnhoffen
Anourognathus ammoni/
Pseudosirex sp.

Marco Antonio Pineda
Acrylic
18 x 25 cm
Author´s collection

A personal interpretation of a very famous scene inspired on a two representative animal species from ancient Bavary in Germany.
A small pterosaur on a high speed fly tryng to catch a potencial meal: the prehistoric wasp Pseudosirex.
Really its very intriguing if this scene could be true, or is only an our imagination product.

 I can imagine time-traveling tourists bringing out their bird-watching binoculars to check out the anourognathus in motion.

More than the two critters, what i find really beautiful is the scenery, and the glimpse of the lake at the left of the picture... Makes me wish to jump and swim in there!

This is simply stunning. The painting's absolutely beautiful, and the old-school narrow-chord wing configuration will always be pretty despite the lack of evidence for it.

Other than the hindlimbs (the main membrane did connected to the hindlimbs, and the uropatagium is unexistent, when the opposite occured in real life), this is an absolutely beautiful picture

Thanks John,
When I made this artwork, some years ago, were some ideas about possibility of a free legs on pterosaurs, mainly in biggest species like Pteranodon.
I decided adopt it for Anourognathus
