Changchengopterus

Naam beteken: “Great Wall wing”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleMiddel-Jura tot Laat JuraTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Changchengopterus was a small flying reptile that lived in China during the Jurassic Period. It had long, thin wings and probably ate fish by snapping them up from the water.3 1

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

Prettige feite

Changchengopterus is known from two fossils: a young juvenile and an adult. The juvenile's wing bones measured only 17 centimetres (about 6.7 inches) in total.1

Its name comes from the Great Wall of China (Changcheng) and the Greek word for wing (pteron).1

Scientists are not sure exactly where Changchengopterus sits on the pterosaur family tree. Some studies place it close to Dorygnathus, others with the wukongopterids, and some even outside the group Monofenestrata.1

The first fossil was collected by Pan Lijun, who donated it to science. The species name pani honors him.1

Changchengopterus lived about 163 million years ago, during the Middle Jurassic.1
