FIGURE 1. Images from the original publication by Georg August Goldfuss (1831). Main slab (1A) and counter slab (1B) of the holotype of Scaphognathus crassirostris IGPB Goldfuss 1304a (main slab) and 1304b (counter slab). 1C, Skeletal reconstruction of Scaphognathus crassirostris, including palaeobiological life reconstruction of two Scaphognathus crassirostris specimens in their presumed marginal marine habitat. However, the skeletal reconstruction contains two major errors: firstly, four instead of three clawed fingers are to be seen on the hand, and secondly, the long tail characteristic of most non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs is missing.
