I used to correspond with Giovanni Caselli: we've fallen out of touch, but I emailed him today and will let you know what he says. Caselli's version came first - but where did it come from?Īlas, this is where I draw a blank. The animals are also shown as being red, just like Orr's creature: as I've said before (in connection with phorusrhacids and astrapotheres: it's pet peeve # 112), artists frequently follow the colour schemes of their predecessors, meaning that a certain 'uniform' becomes associated with a certain creature for no good reason. Caselli didn't show the animals in as much detail as Orr did in 1984 or Michel did in 1979, but we can see a comparatively short skull and a blunt, knob-like crest at the back of the head. Sure enough, if we look at this book, we see another version of the same creature. Halstead's The Evolution and Ecology of the Dinosaurs (first published in 1975). It's obvious from many of the scenes included in the book that Orr had been heavily inspired by Giovanni Caselli's reconstructions from L. Orr's painting comes from a Dougal Dixon book ( Prehistoric Reptiles) that was originally published in 1984 (I only have a 1993 edition). Where on earth did this view of Quetzalcoatlus come from? Richard Orr's painting - shown below - always makes me think of one of Hieronymus Bosch's scenes of hell truly it's a horrific, terrifying scene (and I don't mean that as a slight to Orr's good artwork). Imagined like this, it really looks like some sort of horrific demon. As you can see from the images reproduced here (the drawing above is by Guy Michel and appeared in John Gilbert's 1979 book Dinosaurs Discovered), it was shown as being a short-headed pterosaur with a weird lump on the back of its head and pointed, toothy jaws. Little known today (it seems) is that Quetzalcoatlus was depicted as a most peculiar creature in a few books from the 1970s and 80s. I first got to know Quetzalcoatlus as a very, very different beast, however. Mark has illustrated azhdarchids many times, and - as I hope you know - he's working on something BIG due to be showcased very, very soon.

Tetrapod Zoology has, I think it's fair to say, done more than its fair share of azhdarchid promotion, plus there's also a rather good paper on these animals by two chaps called Witton and Naish (Witton & Naish 2008).

Why have azhdarchids become so familiar? The reconstruction of several life-sized skeletons and models mean that they've been widely exposed to the museum-going public, CG versions have recently featured on TV programmes about Mesozoic life, and a better knowledge of their appearance and biology means that they're increasingly featured in artwork. The answer: sort of like a cross between a giraffe and a stork, though with all of this being over-ridden by uniquely pterosaurian weirdness membranous wings supported by giant fingers, a large cranial crest, plantigrade feet, and so on.
