Leptostomia

Naam beteken: “slender mouth”1

Het geëet: InsekteVlieënde reptieleLaat KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Leptostomia was a tiny pterosaur with a very long, thin beak. It used its beak like a straw to poke into mud and grab worms or bugs. It lived in what is now Morocco, near rivers and mangroves.1 2

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

Prettige feite

Leptostomia is known from only two beak fragments, one upper and one lower jaw.1

Its beak was flattened from top to bottom, which is different from any other known pterosaur.1 2

Scientists think Leptostomia used its beak like a kiwi bird or a curlew to probe for food in mud.1 2

Leptostomia lived about 100 to 94 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period.4

It was much smaller than many other pterosaurs that lived at the same time.1

The fossils were found in the Kem Kem Beds, which were once a river system with mangroves and tidal flats.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Leptostomia

?How big was Leptostomia?

Leptostomia was very small. Its complete skull was only about 6 to 20 centimeters (2.4 to 7.9 inches) long.1

?What did Leptostomia eat?

Leptostomia probably ate small invertebrates like worms, crabs, and molluscs. It used its long, flat beak to probe into mud, just like a kiwi bird does.1 3

?When did Leptostomia live?

Leptostomia lived during the Cretaceous period, about 100 to 94 million years ago.1

?Where was Leptostomia found?

Leptostomia fossils were found in Morocco, near the town of Hassi El Begaa. They came from the Kem Kem Beds, which were once a river system with mangroves and tidal flats.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Leptostomia
Benoem deur: Smith et al. 20204
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Azhdarchoidea4
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 100 tot 94 miljoen jaar (Cenomanian)4
Rotsformasies: Ifezouane4
Lande: Marokko4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Leptostomia was named in 2021 by paleontologists Roy E. Smith, David Martill, Alexander Kao, Samir Zouhri, and Nicholas Longrich. The fossils were found near the village of Hassi El Begaa in Morocco.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly which group of pterosaurs Leptostomia belongs to. It is probably an azhdarchoid, but it does not fit neatly into any known family.1 2
