more old issues of Acta Palaeontologica Polonica available

It seems that APP old issue archive has expanded back to the year 1980. Some of the individual issues seem to be missing but there's still loads of goodies in there so check it out.

Also, Journal of Anatomy has gone free access.

From Journal of Anatomy website:

Pterosaur goodies

Yes, another expedition to youtube has provided results. Here is very nice animation of Anhanguera taking of via quadrupedal launch, as suggested by Michael Habib in a paper that I still have not acquired nor read (oh the shaaame).



It look nice but I would think that when the animation is in the "Launch" position the animal would already be in the air, but regardless it's very nice animation and great illustration how quadrupedal launch works.

More goodies. I just discovered website called Pterosaur net . It's an excellent website with some nice articles, like pterosaur myths by Darren Naish, pterosaur locomotion by Mark Witton, restoring pterosaurs by John Conway and sections for pterosaur origins, ecology and popular culture. There's also small gallery of some of the most beautiful pterosaur artwork I have ever seen. However as great as all of that is, I must confess my favourite section of the website is the gallery of famous pterosaur fossils. Beautiful photos of classic pterosaur specimens and new Tischlinger UV treats.
