Nice restoration, is curious to see the position of the fingers when the animal was flying!
(Also, Europejara is from Spain, but I can't avoid think that it must be pronounced with Brazilian accent)

Thanks! The finger orientation is something new for me, this was the first time I tried it. I saw some feedback from John Conway in the paleoartists Facebook group, and this definitely makes more sense than the way I was illustrating (fingers pointing downwards in flight).

Good pic.
Interesting to hear, on its Pteros page, that tapejarids may have played an important role in dispersing the seeds of early flowering plants.

That's something that makes them even more interesting
