Aymberedactylus

Naam beteken: “small lizard finger”1
Het geëet: Vrugte en planteVlieënde reptieleVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Aymberedactylus was a toothless flying reptile from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil. It had a short, downturned beak and probably ate fruits. Scientists think it was a small to medium-sized pterosaur with a wingspan of about 2 metres.1

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

Prettige feite

1

Aymberedactylus is only known from one almost complete lower jaw (mandible). No other bones have been found.1

2

Its lower jaw is 27 centimetres long and is completely toothless.1

3

It had a very long retroarticular process (a part of the jaw joint) that was about 7% of the whole jaw length.1

4

The jaw had a shallow, rough-textured pit on the splenial bone that is unique to this species.1

5

Aymberedactylus belongs to the Tapejarinae group, which are toothless pterosaurs that often had big crests on their heads.1

6

It lived about 119 to 113 million years ago in a coastal lagoon environment.4

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Aymberedactylus

?What did Aymberedactylus eat?

It probably ate fruits. Scientists think it was a frugivore, like other tapejarine pterosaurs with downturned beaks.2

?How big was Aymberedactylus?

It had a wingspan of about 2 metres (6.5 feet), which is typical for tapejarid pterosaurs. The only known fossil is a 27 centimetre long lower jaw.32

?Was Aymberedactylus a dinosaur?

No, it was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs but is not a dinosaur itself.3

Ontdekking
Aymberedactylus cearensis was named in 2016 by R.V. Pêgas, M.E.C. Leal and A.W.A. Kellner based on a lower jaw found near Nova Olinda, Brazil. Its name means 'small lizard finger' from the Tupi language, referring to its small size and pterosaur features.1
Steeds omstrede
Since only a lower jaw has been found, scientists are not sure about the exact shape of its head crest or its full body size.1
