Piksi

Naam beteken: “big bird or chicken in the Blackfoot language, and strange elbow in Latin”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleLaat KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Piksi was a small flying reptile that lived about 75 million years ago. It had a wingspan of about 1 meter (3.3 feet), which is as wide as a big bird's wings. Piksi used its wings to fly over ancient Montana, USA.1 2

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

Prettige feite

Piksi was first thought to be a bird, but scientists later realized it was a pterosaur, a flying reptile.2 1

The only known fossils of Piksi are parts of its right wing: the humerus, ulna, and radius bones.3 1

Piksi lived during the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, about 75 million years ago.3 1

Piksi belongs to a group of pterosaurs called Ornithocheiroidea, which had teeth and were common in the Early Cretaceous.2

The fossils were found in 1991 by Gloria Jean Siebrecht on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana.1

Piksi was very small for a pterosaur, with a wingspan of only about 1 meter (3.3 feet).2 1

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

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Piksi

?Is Piksi a dinosaur?

No, Piksi is a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a dinosaur.1 2

?How big was Piksi?

Piksi was very small for a pterosaur, with a wingspan of about 1 meter (3.3 feet).1 2

?What did Piksi eat?

Nobody knows for sure, but since it belonged to the toothed pterosaur group Ornithocheiroidea, it likely ate fish or small animals.1 2

Mite-breker

Mite: Piksi was a bird.

Waarheid: Piksi was actually a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a bird. Scientists reclassified it in 2012.2 1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Piksi
Benoem deur: Varricchio 20023
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Ornithocheiroidea3
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 84 tot 72 miljoen jaar (Campanian)3
Rotsformasies: Two Medicine3
Lande: VSA3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Piksi was named in 2002 by paleontologist David J. Varricchio. The fossils were found in 1991 by Gloria Jean Siebrecht at Bob's Vacation Site in Montana, USA.3 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating whether Piksi is definitely a pterosaur or might be something else, because the fossils are very fragmentary.1
