a type

dinosaur

called a 

Sauropodomorph.

Schleitheimia schutzi a Sauropodomorph

Schleitheimia schutzi is the name given to a newly discovered dinosaur that was discovered in Switzerland.  It was around 33 feet or 10 meters long.  It was a Sauropodomorph.  It was one of the transition species between the Prosauropods and the enormous Sauropods.  This newly discovered dinosaur lived in the Late Triassic Period and the Early Jurassic Period.  The species name of schutzi was for the name of the discoverer of the dinosaur.

The flying reptile or Pterosaur in the drawing is a late Triassic Pterosaur named Caelestiventus hanseni.  The species name of hanseni is for Robin Hansen the BLM (Beaurea of Land Management) Geologist who helped with the excavation of the fossil.  It was found in the Saints and Sinners Quarry in NE Utah, USA  (I've been to that quarry.) This Pterosaur was possibly the largest Triassic Pterosaur.  It had a wingspan of around 5 feet or about 1.5 meters.  

So, I must admit that the proportions in the drawing are kind-of off.  So to solve that situation I'll just say that the Pterosaur is in the foreground and the Sauropodamorph is farther back in the picture.  That will give you a more correct view.  After all, the Sauropodomorph was 33 feet long!  Of course, you could say that the Sauropodomorph, Schleitheimia schutzi, in the drawing is just a juvenile or sub-adult.
