Learning dinosaurs with speen by drawing my friends as dinosaurs!
Here's
Edrag as an Ornithodesmus (No pronunciation I could find, but I'd say it's like Oar-nith-oh-dehs-mus) which is a dromaeosaurid (basically small theropod 'three toes/claws and hollow boned') dinosaur that was found in England. They lived during the early Cretaceous Period
Fun Fact: I believe there was only one specimen uncovered. Their name means "Bird Link".
Why is their snout so weird? I guess no one can really decide since these guys were originally thought to have been pterosaurs (Flying reptiles)! Only until now, they have been classified as a small raptor.
"More complete pterosaur remains were later assigned to Ornithodesmus, until recently a detailed analysis determined that the original specimen in fact came from a small theropod, specifically a dromaeosaur. All pterosaurian material previously assigned to this genus has been renamed Istiodactylus."
