Jianchangopterus

Naam beteken: “Jianchang wing”3

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

Jianchangopterus was a small, long-tailed pterosaur that flew over ancient China. It had a mouth full of sharp teeth and probably snatched fish from the water. This flying reptile lived during the Middle Jurassic period, about 168 to 152 million years ago.3 1

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

Prettige feite

Jianchangopterus had seven pairs of teeth in its upper jaw and six pairs in its lower jaw. That is 26 teeth in total.1

Its fourth wing finger bone was strongly curved and almost as long as the first wing finger bone. It was also much thinner than the other wing bones.1

This pterosaur had a special groove along the top of its lower jaw. Scientists call this a central ridge on the mandibular symphysis.1

Jianchangopterus is a member of the Scaphognathinae group. Its closest relatives include Scaphognathus and Sordes.3

The only known fossil of Jianchangopterus was found in the Tiaojishan Formation in China. This rock layer is famous for many Jurassic pterosaurs and dinosaurs.3 1

KI-prent van Jianchangopterus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Jianchangopterus 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: Jianchangopterus
Benoem deur: Lü and Bo 20113
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Rhamphorhynchidae3
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Rhamphorhynchidae3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 168 tot 152 miljoen jaar (Bathonian / Kimmeridgian)3
Rotsformasies: Tiaojishan3
Lande: China3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Jianchangopterus was named by Chinese paleontologists Lü Junchang and Xue Bo in 2011. They described it from a nearly complete skeleton with a skull found in Liaoning, China.3 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure about the exact size of Jianchangopterus. The only known fossil is a single skeleton, so its full wingspan and weight are still unknown.3
