Scaphognathus („Wannenkiefer“) war eine Gattung langschwänziger Flugsaurier aus dem Oberjura, die nur von zwei fossilen Exemplaren aus dem Solnhofener Plattenkalk bekannt ist. 11). Here we apply RTI imaging to the holotype of the non-ptero… He cross-checked reports he heard to obtain more accuracy. There is evidence that pterosaurs may have flown the skies a couple thousand years ago. The appearance of the S. is remarkably similar to the Meier sketch from Rome (fig. People don’t travel close to those lakes because of the well-known danger these serpents represent … That is what is said by the Egyptians who travel in Ethiopia and in Nubia [3, p. 407 (222)].The most remarkable facet of this description is the crest and small piece of skin on the head. The length, “as long as a palm branch,” is correct for this pterosaur we are considering according to the fossils that are known. The same lateral ridge appears on the dorsal skull, below and in front of the eye, that is seen on the Egyptian sculpture. When that is done, the basis of Darwinian theory of change over time in the fossil record may be strongly challenged and a different model for historical geology will be needed. The visual evidence is bolstered by written accounts from ancient Greek and Latin authors and the leading European naturalists of the early Renaissance.Paleocryptozoology is a new science and therefore offers the opportunity to achieve rapid progress and success. However, the new science has not been much developed heretofore. The giraffe is accurately colored, brown and spotted, and so is the grey elephant. The species name honors Joe Gentry, a volunteer at Western Paleontological Laboratories in Lehi, Utah. The ear appears faintly just like the Egyptian sculpture on the lower posterior of the skull. The remaining historical accounts may be found in the author’s other study [16]. Cardanel (cited by Topsell) said the flying reptiles he observed were very colorful (see the last section).
This is certainly true for paleocryptozoology.
Indeed there are many other species I have found that are awaiting further work and publication.Paleocryptozoological studies have the potential to establish the recent existence of many fossil species.
It seems obvious that the French scientist was slow to believe what he heard: these animals were unheard of in Europe by this time, but, as he states, he verified these sightings with large numbers of eyewitnesses (very likely with a great deal of independence).In an extremely important allusion, the French naturalist refers to another morphological characteristic of the But the natives, who have a premonition of the arrival of the savage beasts prepare a fire of a plant the very Great and very Good God has abundantly grown in that region, as a remedy. He provides the following account of Moses leading an army from ancient Egypt against the Nubians:…he gave a wonderful demonstration of his sagacity; for when the ground was difficult to be passed over because of the multitude of serpents, (which it produces in vast numbers, and indeed is singular in some of those productions, … such as are worse than others in power and mischief, and an unusual fierceness of sight, some of which ascend out of the ground unseen, and also fly in the air, and so come upon men at unawares and do them mischief,) … he made baskets, like unto arks, of sedge, and filled them with ibes [ibises], and carried them along with them; which animal is the greatest enemy to serpents imaginable, for they fly from them when they come near them; and as they fly they are caught and devoured by them [21, 2, 245].It is known that Josephus was familiar with Herodotus and it is likely that his mention of flying serpents could have been prompted by the earlier allusion of the Greek historian and traveler. … Continue reading "Web Posting Information"
Tradition has given the name of the dragon “the Grand Goule.” … From olden days in the ancient cities are those who recount that they would assemble in ceremonial parades carrying the representations of the vanquished dragons. And first of all there was a dragon or winged serpent brought unto Francis the French king when he lay at sanction by a certain country man who had slain the fame serpent himself with a spade when it set upon him in the fields to kill him. Also, few have looked for ‘Jurassic’ or ‘Cretaceous’ animals, thinking they could not have survived until recently.
