Chaoyangopterus

Naam beteken: “Chaoyang wing”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Chaoyangopterus was a flying reptile that lived in China during the Early Cretaceous. It had a long, toothless beak and a wingspan about as wide as a small car. It probably swooped down to catch fish from lakes.1 5

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

Prettige feite

Chaoyangopterus had no teeth, just a sharp beak like a bird.1

Its skull was about 27 centimeters (11 inches) long, about the size of a ruler.1

It still had four fingers on each hand, unlike some other pterosaurs that lost fingers.1

Its legs were longer and its wings shorter compared to its relative Nyctosaurus.1

Scientists first thought Chaoyangopterus was a nyctosaurid, but later placed it in its own family, Chaoyangopteridae.1

Some researchers now think Chaoyangopterus might have been an omnivore that walked on the ground like a crane, instead of just eating fish.1 5

Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Azhdarchidae5
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea > Azhdarchidae5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 121 tot 113 miljoen jaar (Aptian)5
Rotsformasies: Jiufotang5
Lande: China5

Ontdekking: Chaoyangopterus was named in 2003 by Chinese paleontologists Wang Xiaolin and Zhou Zhonghe. The species name zhangi honors journalist Zhang Wanlian for protecting fossil sites. The skeleton was found in the Jiufotang Formation of Liaoning, China.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists still debate whether Chaoyangopterus was a fish-eater or a ground-feeding omnivore, and its exact place in the pterosaur family tree is not settled.1 5
