Iberodactylus

Naam beteken: “Iberian finger”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Iberodactylus was a flying reptile that lived about 125 million years ago. It had a big crest on its snout and sharp teeth for catching fish. It was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur that soared over the coast of what is now Spain.1 2

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

Prettige feite

Iberodactylus is known from only one fossil: a partial snout with a crest and six pairs of tooth sockets.1

Its closest relative is Hamipterus from China, which is surprising because they lived so far apart.1

The crest on its snout was blade-like and covered with curved grooves and ridges.1

Scientists think the fossil might be from a male because male Hamipterus had bigger crests than females.1

Iberodactylus lived in a coastal environment, alongside marine reptiles like plesiosaurs and many fish.1

The fossil was found in a limestone layer that was once the bottom of a shallow sea.1

KI-prent van Iberodactylus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Iberodactylus dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Iberodactylus
Benoem deur: Holgado et al. 20194
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Hamipteridae4
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 126 tot 121 miljoen jaar (Barremian)4
Rotsformasies: Blesa4
Lande: Spanje4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Iberodactylus was named in 2019 by Holgado and colleagues. The fossil was found in the 1980s by local collector Javier Andreu near Obón, Spain.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure about the full size of Iberodactylus because only a piece of its snout has been found.1
