Normannognathus

Naam beteken: “Normandy jaw”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleLaat JuraTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Normannognathus was a flying reptile that lived about 150 million years ago. It had a tall crest on its head and a slightly upturned snout, making it look a bit like a dragon.1 2

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

Prettige feite

Normannognathus had teeth all the way to the tip of its jaws, which is unusual for some pterosaurs.2

Its tall crest started right in front of the nostril opening and had a concave front edge, making it look like a wave.2

The crest was flat and ran along the midline of the upper jaw, and it may have been covered by a horny sheath.1

The fossil is only about 10 centimetres long, and it includes the front part of the skull and lower jaws.1

Scientists have changed their minds about where Normannognathus belongs in the pterosaur family tree, placing it in different groups over the years.1

It lived during the Kimmeridgian age, about 152 to 149 million years ago, in a marine environment.4

KI-prent van Normannognathus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Normannognathus 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: Normannognathus was a dinosaur.

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

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Normannognathus
Benoem deur: Buffetaut et al. 19984
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Lophocratia4
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 152 tot 149 miljoen jaar (Kimmeridgian)4
Rotsformasies: Argiles d'Octeville4

Ontdekking: Jean-Jacques Lepage found the fossil in 1993 on the Normandy coast at Cap de la Hève, near Ecqueville. In 1998, Eric Buffetaut and colleagues named it Normannognathus wellnhoferi.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists still debate exactly which group of pterosaurs Normannognathus belongs to, with different studies placing it in different families.1
