Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Palaeolimnornis was a flying reptile that lived about 143 to 137 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period. It was a pterosaur, not a dinosaur, and it soared over ancient Romania. Scientists think it ate fish, catching them from the water with its beak.3 1

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

Prettige feite

Palaeolimnornis was originally named Limnornis in 1984, but that name was already used for a bird, so it was changed to Palaeolimnornis in 1985.3 1

The fossils of Palaeolimnornis were found in a bauxite mine in Romania, inside an ancient cave system that was filled with sediment.1

Some scientists think Palaeolimnornis might actually be a pterosaur, not a bird, because its bones are very similar to other pterosaurs.3 1

The name Palaeolimnornis means 'ancient lake bird', even though it was probably a flying reptile.3

Palaeolimnornis lived during the Berriasian age, which is the very beginning of the Cretaceous period, about 143 to 137 million years ago.3

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Palaeolimnornis
Benoem deur: Jurcsák and Kessler 19853
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: Palaeolimnornis was first named by Jurcsák and Kessler in 1985, based on fossils found in the Cornet bauxite mine in Romania. The fossils were collected in the late 1970s and early 1980s.3 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure if Palaeolimnornis was really a pterosaur or a bird, because the fossils are very fragmentary. Some researchers consider it a nomen dubium (doubtful name).3 1
