Paleontology isn\'t just about unearthing new species, it also involves reassessing old discoveries, which is the case of this week\'s topic animals - Faxinalipterus minimus and Maehary bonapartei, the first of them revealed to not have been a flying reptile (as previously thought), and the latter, to have been simply a creature similar to a Pterosaur.
