Navajodactylus

Naam beteken: “Navajo finger”1
Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleLaat KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Navajodactylus was a flying reptile that soared over what is now New Mexico, USA, about 75 million years ago. It had a wingspan as wide as a small car and probably snatched fish from ancient rivers.13

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

Prettige feite

1

Navajodactylus is known from only a few wing bones, including a piece of the first wing finger phalanx.1

2

Its name honors the Navajo Nation, combining 'Navajo' with the Greek word for finger, 'daktylos'.1

3

The holotype fossil was discovered by oceanographer Arjan C. Boeré in 2002.1

4

Scientists are not sure if Navajodactylus belongs to the azhdarchid family, because its wing bones lack air spaces that azhdarchids usually have.1

5

Navajodactylus lived about 75 million years ago, during the late Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.12

6

Some fossils from Alberta, Canada were once thought to be Navajodactylus, but later scientists assigned them to a different pterosaur called Cryodrakon.1

Ontdekking
Navajodactylus was named by Robert M. Sullivan and Denver W. Fowler in 2011, based on a wing bone found by Arjan C. Boeré in the Kirtland Formation of New Mexico.13
Steeds omstrede
Scientists debate whether Navajodactylus is truly an azhdarchid pterosaur, because it lacks the air-filled bones typical of that group.1
