The Ray Harryhausen Centenary Photo Quiz

One Million Years BC (1966)/The Valley of Gwangi (1969)

This is similar to the view that will have greeted Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC, when she was airlifted by a pteranodon. A pteranodon also appeared in The Valley of Gwangi. If you want to hear the opinion of a pterosaur expert on how accurate Ray Harryhausen's dinosaurs (and pterosaurs) were - listen to my interview with Dr. Mark Witton in The Ray Harryhausen Centenary Podcast.

Photo: one of my vintage dinosaur (and other extinct giant reptiles) collection from when I was a bit younger. This is a model pteranodon, produced by Invicta in 1978 for The British Museum of Natural History (the Natural History Museum, London).
