Pterosaurs Still Living Identification Evaluation # 1 (Question “E”) for Duane Hodgkinson of Livingston, Montana |
|
Administered to Mr. Hodgkinson (living in Montana) in August 2004. (Received by J. Whitcomb by mail) The purpose of this question “E” is to determine the approxi-mate sharpness of the mouth/beak/snout of what Hodgkinson called “pterodactyl.”

All other aspects of the appearance of these drawings are not to be taken as similar to the actual appearance of the creature reported as being seen by Hodgkinson (They were not drawn by D.H.) Each page is meant to gain better knowledge of one aspect of the appearance of whatever the U.S. veteran saw, in 1944, near Finschhafen. |

Of these four figures, “17” was chosen by D.H. |

After he was interviewed by Jonathan Whitcomb, in 2004, Duane Hodgkinson was inter-viewed by Garth Guessman, in 2005 (details in the book Searching for Ropens).
Because Hodgkinson saw the “pterodactyl” in daylight, investigators are not sure that it is the same species as the glowing ropen of Umboi Island. There are similarities in the descriptions, however, and these suggest that it is the same species of pterosaur. |
