Phobetor in History

The Russian paleontologist Natalia Bakhurina from the Moscow Institute of Paleontology researched on skeleton remains of a small Dsungariptic pterosaur from western Mongolia in 1982. It was called Phobetor.

These fossils found under the cretaceous layers were not complete. Parts of the flightarms, flight fingers and the legs were discovered later by skull parts with toothless jaws and a large bony crest on the back of the skull. The alveoles in the middle of the jaw displayed the remains of teeth which differentiantes this pterosaur from the larger Dsungaripterus.

Our model requires metal geared servos and a high rate gyro Controlling the head movement.
