Calles believed the Catholic Church had too much power and started his war. Getting back to the Rurales, they would hang or decapitate anybody who said they were practising Catholics.

The one showing the creature laying flat (and a soldier with his shirt open at the left) was used for the FreakyLinks website promo, and the model used in it is in Loren Coleman's museum in Maine. The other photo, called "Ptp" by a YEC name John Whitecomb who wrote a book promoting it, was used in the program itself, Episode. Both used Civil War actors, and have heavily photoshopped backgrounds.

Thus I have looked at A LOT of old time photos. My inclination about this photo is that it is genuinely from the late 1800's. Make no mistake, photos taken then were VERY crisp as long as no one moved. The other photo used as a background for this page with the men standing behind around a pterosaur laying on the ground is by all means a hoax. The men in the photo are far to big and heavy for the Civil War era.

The most active advocate of "living pterosaur" claims, Johathan Whitcomb, claims that the second one is the "real" one which the Freakylinks crew copied in their hoax. However, it too has serious problems, both with the anatomy of the creature, and the soldiers. For example, they are wearing Union enlisted infantry uniforms, but then they should be wearing oval belt buckles instead of rectangular ones. For a detailed analysis of these photos and "modern pterosaur" claims, see my critique at: <br />http://paleo.cc/paluxy/livptero.htm paleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607034189959294481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498840600741973651.post-17467134647919808672017-04-14T01:50:11.786-05:002017-04-14T01:50:11.786-05:00These are almost definitely modern reenactors in t...These are almost definitely modern reenactors in the photo.

So I was basically just floating in the river with the current keeping me afloat and I had my eyes closed. All the sudden a huge shadow came over my eyes- I open my eyes and it was the biggest bird I've ever seen and it looked exactly like a pterodactyl, the wingspan must have been at least 12 - 14 feet. It really freaked me out because I thought it was going to eat me- needless to say I got out of the river. This is a true story and I saw this bird around 1993.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729432494165775875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498840600741973651.post-58155341246060353122016-07-19T12:27:15.674-05:002016-07-19T12:27:15.674-05:00The first piece is the part of blasted late 15 cen...The first piece is the part of blasted late 15 century long barrel hangonne which was repaired (new breech plug was put in and new touch hole was made).
