Palaeocast

The Middle Jurassic is incredibly important to our understanding of Pterosaur evolution; however, the remarkable rarity and incompleteness of Middle Jurassic Pterosaurs has long hampered scientific understanding of the lineage.

Joining us this episode on the other side of the microphone is one of Palaeocast’s own team members, Dr Liz Martin Silverstone, a Technical Specialist at the University of Bristol who has recently described Ceoptera evansae, a Darwinopteran Pterosaur from the Isle of Skye. Together, we explore the new specimen, how it fits in to the group, and the insights it can give us in to Pterosaur evolution.
