The fossil remains of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs, have intrigued paleontologists for
more than two centuries. How such large creatures, which weighted in some cases as much as a
piloted hang glider and had wingspans from 8 to 12 meters. Solved the problems of powered flight,
and exactly what these creatures were reptiles or birds are among the questions scientists have
puzzled over.
Perhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles. Their
skulls, pelvises, and hind feet are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not
evolve into the class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb
supported a wing like membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with sharp claws. In
birds the second fingure is the principle strut of the wing, which consists primarily of feathers. If the
pterosaur walked or remained stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the wing, could only turn
upward in an extended inverted V-shape along side of the animal‟s body.
The pterosaurs resembled both birds and bats in their overall structure and proportions. This is not
surprising because the design of any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic constraints. Both
the pterosaurs and the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a saving in weight. In the
birds, however, these bones are reinforced more massively by internal struts.
It can be inferred from the passage that the scientists now generally agree that:
