Wingspan of Senckenberg Museum model?
Re the photo of the Senckenberg Museum model:
Does anybody know the wingspan of this model?? I'm wondering which guess the modellers went with. - 5 december 2005
- According to their web site [1], the wingspan is 12 meters (40 feet). This was long considered a high-end estimate, but now that pterosaurs have been found with wingspans approaching 80 feet, I don't think it's so improbable. Dinoguy2 00:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- 80 foot (24 m) wingspan? In other words a pterosaur eight times bigger than Quetzalcoatlus, if their proportions are similar. Sounds like utter BS to me.
