He’s never really been much into pterosaurs at all, and the basic ideas he’s conveying there have been said repeatedly in the literature and various popular sources.

Bakker either noticed the same traits independently or read Chris’ papers (either is quite plausible).

I know, I’ve been talking about it forever, but we keep adding stuff – this is going to be a wicked paper).”

Out of curiosity, does that paper have anything to do w/Bakker’s inferences about Anurognathus ( http://blog.hmns.org/2010/08/solnhofen-birthplace-of-pterodactyls/ )?
