Ardeadactylus

Naam beteken: “heron finger”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleLaat JuraTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Ardeadactylus was a pterosaur that lived in the Late Jurassic period, about 152 million years ago. It had a long neck and long legs, like a heron, and probably ate fish. It flew over the warm seas of what is now Germany.1

Prettige feit: pterosourusse het oor die dinosourusse gevlieg, maar hulle was hul neefs, nie self dinosourusse nie.

Prettige feite

Ardeadactylus had only 15 teeth in each jaw, fewer than its relative Pterodactylus, and those teeth were larger.1

Its name comes from Ardea, which means 'heron', because scientists think it looked like a heron with its long neck and legs.1

Only two fossils of Ardeadactylus are known today. One is kept at the Jura Museum in Eichstätt, Germany.1

The first fossil of Ardeadactylus was found in 1853 near Eichstätt, but it was destroyed during World War II.1

Ardeadactylus lived in the Late Jurassic, about 152 to 145 million years ago, during the Kimmeridgian and Tithonian ages.2

Scientists think Ardeadactylus may have hunted larger fish than its cousin Pterodactylus, because its teeth were bigger.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Ardeadactylus

?How big was Ardeadactylus?

Its wingspan was about 1.45 metres (4.8 feet), and one specimen was about 1.6 metres (5.2 feet).1

?What did Ardeadactylus eat?

It ate fish. It had larger teeth than its relative Pterodactylus, so it probably hunted bigger fish.1

?Is Ardeadactylus a dinosaur?

No, it is a pterosaur, which is a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs but is not a dinosaur.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Ardeadactylus
Benoem deur: Bennett 20134
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Pterodactyloidea4
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 152 tot 145 miljoen jaar (Kimmeridgian / Tithonian)4
Rotsformasies: Liegende Bankkalk, Solnhofen4
Lande: Duitsland4
Fossielrekords: 4 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Ardeadactylus was first named as a species of Pterodactylus in 1854 by Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer. In 2013, scientist S. Christopher Bennett gave it its own genus, Ardeadactylus.1 3
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how Ardeadactylus is related to other pterosaurs. Some studies place it in the group Aurorazhdarchidae, but others disagree.1
