I appreciate it when authors provide close-ups of the pterosaur carpus. It gives me a chance to once again document the near universal presence of a vestigial manual digit 5 and other ptero traits missed by other workers.

Figure 1. Click to enlarge. The carpus of Darwinopterus linglongtaenis. Vesitigial digit 5 is scattered on metatarsal 4. The pteroid articulates in the saddle of the radiale. The preaxial carpal articulates on the first distal carpal now fused to the other distal carpals in a syncopal.
Here digit 5 is scattered, but all the elements are there. In red: distal carpal 5. In green: metacarpal 5. In blue: two proximal phalanges. In amber: a sharp ungual. This matches the pattern seen in basal fenestrasaurs in which manual digit 5 is not a vestige.
Note the pteroid is located in the saddle of the radiale (Peters 2009) and disconnected from the preaxial carpal (both former centralia, having migrated to the medial wrist, convergent with the mammalian prepollex).

All I see are crush fractures.
Of course.
Well, why shouldn’t there be crush features? The specimen is crushed.
True. There could be and there are crush features in the fossil. If digit 5 was not there that would be fine, but it would be at odds with nearly all other pterosaur fossils.
