*** are you perhaps overthinking evolution a bit ???
some smaller creatures developed wings in their
pursuit of their daily food. Even some of the smaller
dinosaurs.  A beast like Tyrannosaurus Rex of course
would require the wingspan of a 747 and weight several
tons, thus making that option a non event.
Since feathers decompose quickly, the only ones that
scientists can retrieve are the few which became petrified
by either volcanic ash or river bank silt.
It's not all that complicated, Stardude ...

How many did they found...one?

My suspicion comes from the 'scientific community' that label a 5 inch creature a...dinosaur.

There is no “Brontasaurus”.  Perhaps you were thinking of _Brontosaurus_, 
but nobody has claimed that Brontosaurus could fly.

As organsisms increase in size, the cross-section, and thus the
load-bearing capacity, of body parts increases with the square
of the size increase, whereas the mass increases with its cube.
A physicist should know that, Pointy Head.

Obviously the “dummy” is the person who could not write the word properly in 
the first place, and confused it with

<http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Taradactile>

which is probably as far as their "education" went.

But there *have* *been* large _pterosaurs_ like the Pteranodon (wingspan ca. 
7 m) that could fly:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterosaur>

Who doubts that should inform themselves about the skeleton of birds.

Maybe not. Your failure to recognise the word, though...

Or maybe he was laughing at the cretin who coined the word.

Whereas you, O Learbed One, did what? Other than a course in
sexual perversion, that is.

Wot? Wot? Berds av skeletons? Will wonders never cease?

"Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of about 35 feet (10.6 meters),
or about the wingspan of a F-16 fighter. It was among the last
pterodactyls to look down on dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

There is no proof that a brontosaurus ever existed. 


People in that field make up stuff just like NASA with underground oceans a billions of earth.

I presume you mean "evidence"?

It seems that there's a bit of a kerfuffke going on right now
on that matter. Seems they think that they were wrong to think
that they were wrong. Who'd a thunk it?

Theu're not unique in that. Physics is a minefield of myth and dogma.

"never existed" is very misleading.  The animal called "Brontosaurus" did 
exist, it's just that two people named it with different names and the 
other name is the one that stuck.

What's "mythical" or "dogmatic" about under-ice oceans?  Give us another 
explanation for the observations and your reasons that your version fits 
the observations better.

But that baby's estimated to have been about 70 kg. Pretty much
the limit for flesh and bone. As Hagar said.
