These are all in the public domain, and so also are great sources for images such as historical skeletal reconstructions and elements of anatomy. The Polyglot Paleontologist (formerly Paleoglot.org), translations of non-English palaeontology articles; Pterosaur FAQ's, by Raymond Thaddeus C. Ancog. The Pterosaur Database, by Paul Pursglove.

Since Antineosteus article lacked image and once there was copyvio image, I created size comparison image of A. rufus.Other species looks hard to reconstruct. Although placement of material is based on reconstruction in this article, but it looks bit oversized, even based on larger specimen that human shilouette in article become about 150 cm tall.
