Published online today in the journal Proceedings of The Royal Society B (Biological Sciences), is a paper which describes fossils of a new kind of flying dinosaur, or pterosaur.
Chronologically, the creature falls between two known stepping stones of pterosaur evolution.
Morphologically, however, the fossils are somewhat surprising, and seem to provide evidence to support the ‘Modular Evolution‘ theory.
