[edit] Eye position

Where was the eyes placed? On most reconstructions I've seen, the eyes are small and behind the biggest hole in the skull, don't know what it's called, like here:[1][2]. But DiBgd has drawn it with the eye in the biggest hole, while using this as reference:[3]

So eh, which one is correct? Funkynusayri (talk) 17:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

DiBgd looks correct, using the Bennett skull. The skull of Anurognathus was only known as squashed, incomplete specimens until recently, and it's a weird-looking skull. The antorbital fenestra is actually small and shifted to the front in a very wide, short skull. J. Spencer (talk) 15:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Ah ok. That would probably be nice to have mentioned in the article somehow... Funkynusayri (talk) 15:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
It looks like the specimen is published, but it's in one of the German journals that don't get out my way very often. J. Spencer (talk) 15:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
