A Majestic Flight of a Pterodactyl - A Reptile from the Mesozoic Era This illustration, created by the skilled hand of Neave Parker, brings to life the enigmatic and extinct flying reptile, Pterodactyl. Hailing from the Mesozoic era, approximately 251 million to 65 million years ago, during the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods, this prehistoric creature is a fascinating representative of the Archosauria, a group of reptiles that includes crocodiles, dinosaurs, and pterosaurs. The Pterodactyl, a member of the Pterosauria order, is depicted in this illustration with its distinctive wings spread wide, showcasing its impressive ability to fly. With a wingspan reaching up to 12 meters (39 feet), this creature was a true master of the skies during the Phanerozoic Con, the period of time marked by the presence of abundant fossil life. The Pterodactyl's body structure, belonging to the Diapsida class and the Archosauriformes order, is characterized by two large holes in the skull, a feature that sets it apart from other reptiles. This illustration captures the creature in its natural habitat, basking in the daytime sun of the Cretaceous period. Neave Parker's illustration, created between 1910 and 1961, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when these magnificent creatures ruled the skies. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the illustration make it a must-have for any collection of prehistoric animal art or for those with an interest in the natural world.
