Kepodactylus

Naam beteken: “garden finger”1
Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleLaat Jura tot Vroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Kepodactylus was a flying reptile that lived during the Late Jurassic period. It had a wingspan of about 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) and likely ate fish.12

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

Prettige feite

1

Kepodactylus was discovered in 1992 when scientists were digging up a Stegosaurus skeleton in Garden Park, Colorado. They found the pterosaur bones by accident.1

2

Its name means 'garden finger' because it was found in Garden Park and pterosaurs have a long wing finger.1

3

Kepodactylus had extra holes in its bones called pneumatic foramina. These holes let air from air sacs enter the bones, making them lighter for flying.1

4

Scientists think Kepodactylus weighed about 10 kilograms (22 pounds), which is as heavy as a large cat.1

5

Kepodactylus lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 149 to 143 million years ago.2

6

Only one specimen of Kepodactylus has been found, and it includes a neck bone, an upper arm bone, finger bones, and a foot bone.13

Kepodactylus was named by Jerald Harris and Kenneth Carpenter in 1996. The fossils were found in 1992 in Garden Park, Colorado, while digging up a Stegosaurus.1
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure exactly which group of pterosaurs Kepodactylus belongs to. Some studies place it in the family Ctenochasmatidae, while others put it in a larger group called Lophocratia.12
