Limnornis

Naam beteken: “marsh bird”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Limnornis was a flying reptile that lived about 143 million years ago. It was a pterosaur, not a dinosaur, and it probably ate fish. Its fossils were found in Romania.3 1

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

Prettige feite

Limnornis was first thought to be a bird, but scientists later realized it was a pterosaur, a flying reptile.1

The name Limnornis was already used for a bird called the curve-billed reedhaunter, so the pterosaur got a new name: Palaeocursornis.1

Only one bone of Limnornis has been found, a piece of a leg or arm. That makes it hard for scientists to know exactly what it looked like.1

Limnornis lived on a warm, wet archipelago of volcanic and coral islands, similar to the Caribbean or Indonesia today.1

The habitat of Limnornis had hills, caves, rivers, lakes and swamps.1

KI-prent van Limnornis — 'n KI-prent van hoe Limnornis 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.

Mite-breker

Mite: Limnornis was a dinosaur.

Waarheid: Limnornis was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is not a dinosaur.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Limnornis
Benoem deur: Kessler and Jurcsák 19843
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Pterosauria3
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 143 tot 137 miljoen jaar (Berriasian)3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Limnornis was named by Kessler and Jurcsák in 1984 based on a single bone found in a mine at Cornet near Oradea, Romania.3 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure if Limnornis is a valid genus because the only fossil is very incomplete. Some think it might be a tapejaroid pterosaur, but others consider it a nomen dubium (doubtful name).1
