The bones
remember flight

A single mounted skeleton, lit and turned through five vantages. Scroll to rotate the specimen — the page moves the animal, not the other way around.

The profile

Seen broadside, the wingspan reads end to end. The fourth finger alone carries the entire membrane — one elongated digit doing the work of a whole limb.

Wingspan~6 metres View0° lateral

That crest

Rotated to the head, the backswept crest dominates the skull. Lightly built and hollow, it likely steered display and balance more than force.

From above

The overhead pass flattens the bird-like ribcage and shows how the shoulder girdle anchors the wings — a frame engineered almost entirely for lift.

05Three-quarter

The full turn

The closing angle brings every element together — crest, wing, and keel in one frame. Eighty million years held still, and made to turn at the pace of a scroll.
