Sexual dimorphism of Pteranodon and other pterosaurs, with comments on cranial crests
- S. Bennett
- 15 December 1992
Biology
The conclusion is that the large crests of males are display structures, and no functions proposed for cranial crests can account for the difference in crest size.
The ontogeny of Pteranodon and other pterosaurs
- S. Bennett
- 1993
Geology, Biology
The bone of limb-bone shafts of immature individuals is fibro-lamellar bone, which suggests that they grew rapidly to adult size, and the extensive fusion of the mature skeleton suggest that Pteranodon had determinate growth.

A pteranodontid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Peru, with comments on the relationships of Cretaceous pterosaurs
- S. Bennett
- 1 September 1989
Geology, Biology
The first occurrence of a pterosaur fossil from the Early Cretaceous of Peru is reported, and the species Santanadactylus spixi Wellnhofer (1985) is reassigned to the Dsungaripteridae.
Year-classes of pterosaurs from the Solnhofen Limestone of Germany: taxonomic and systematic implications
- S. Bennett
- 19 September 1996
Geology
ABSTRACT Statistical analyses of measurement data and morphological studies of pterosaur fossils from the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone of Germany reveal the presence of year-classes resulting…
A second specimen of the pterosaurAnurognathus ammoni

- 1 December 2007
Biology
A cladistic analysis supports the interpretation that the Anurognathidae is the sister-group to all other pterosaurs, and concludes that the Schwester-Gruppe aller anderen Flugsaurier sind.
Terrestrial locomotion of pterosaurs: a reconstruction based on Pteraichnus trackways
- S. Bennett
- 16 April 1997
Biology
A reconstruction of the terrestrial locomotion of pterosaurs is presented, based on Pteraichnus trackways that suggest that bird-like bipedal and sprawling to semi-erect postures, and the restrictive interpretations of limb and girdle joint mobilities upon which they are based, may be incorrect.
New crested specimens of the Late Cretaceous pterosaurNyctosaurus
- S. Bennett
- 1 April 2003
Geology
Two recently collected specimens of the Late Cretaceous pterosaurNyctosaurus differ from all previously known specimens in the possession of a large branching cranial crest. The crest extends upward…
