Domeykodactylus

Naam beteken: “Domeyko finger, after the Cordillera Domeyko mountain range and the wing finger of pterosaurs”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Domeykodactylus was a flying reptile that lived in what is now Chile during the Early Cretaceous. It had a crest on its head and ate fish, swooping over ancient seas.1 3

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

Prettige feite

Domeykodactylus was first thought to be a different pterosaur called Pterodaustro, but scientists later realized it was a new species.1

Its skull was about 30 centimeters (12 inches) long, about the size of a ruler.1

Domeykodactylus had a crest on top of its snout made of thin bone struts, which gave it a bumpy texture.1

It had 16 tooth sockets in each lower jaw bone, but the teeth themselves were small and have not been found.1

Domeykodactylus was the first pterosaur of its family, the Dsungaripteridae, ever found in South America. Most others lived in Asia.1

Its fossils were found in rocks that are between 143 and 100 million years old, from the Early Cretaceous period.3

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Domeykodactylus
Benoem deur: Martill et al. 20003
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Dsungaripteridae3
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 143 tot 100 miljoen jaar (Berriasian / Albian)3
Rotsformasies: Santa Ana3
Lande: Chili3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Domeykodactylus was named in 2000 by David Martill, Eberhard Frey, Guillermo Chong Diaz and Charles Michael Bell. The fossil was found in the Sierra da Candeleros in Chile and was originally mistaken for Pterodaustro.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly what the crest on Domeykodactylus's head was used for. It might have been for display to attract mates or to recognize others of its kind.1
