Dinosaur and pterosaur fossils

These diagrams show the skeletons of two types of dinosaur (ornithopod and theropod) and a pterosaur (flying reptile), and where fossil bone fragments fit into their reconstructed skeletons. The lower two examples are from Mangahouanga Stream, inland Hawke’s Bay, where New Zealand’s first dinosaur and pterosaur bones were unearthed.
