This captivating print depicts two species of Pterodactyls, Pterodactylus crassirostris and P. brevirostris, as marsupial bats, as proposed by Edward Newman in his seminal paper
EDITORS COMMENTS
Note on the Pterodactyle Tribe" published in The Zoologist, Volume 1, in 1843. At the time, Newman, a renowned English naturalist, challenged the prevailing belief that Pterodactyls were reptiles and instead suggested they were a unique type of mammal, specifically a marsupial bat. Newman's theory, which was based on the presence of certain mammalian characteristics, such as a marsupial pouch, caused quite a stir in the scientific community. However, it was ultimately disproven as further research revealed that Pterodactyls were indeed reptiles, belonging to the Archosauria group, and not mammals. Despite the error in Newman's theory, this print remains an intriguing reminder of the early debates surrounding the classification of Pterodactyls. The image shows Pterodactylus crassirostris, with its broad bill, and P. brevirostris, with its short bill, both perched on branches. The marsupial bat hypothesis is an intriguing what-if scenario in the history of paleontology, and this print serves as a fascinating snapshot of scientific thought during the 19th century."
