Pterofiltrus

Naam beteken: “wing filter”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Pterofiltrus was a flying reptile that lived about 125 million years ago. It had a very long, narrow skull and lots of thin, pointy teeth that it used like a strainer to catch tiny animals in the water.1 2

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

Prettige feite

Pterofiltrus had about 112 teeth in its head, which is a lot for a pterosaur.1 2

Its teeth covered more than half of the skull length, about 55.8%.1

The skull of Pterofiltrus was very long, about 208 millimetres (8.2 inches).1 2

Pterofiltrus had no bony crest on its head, unlike some other pterosaurs.1

Its lower jaw was also long, about 174 millimetres (6.9 inches), and had about 27 teeth.1

The front teeth of Pterofiltrus were longer than the back ones and pointed partly sideways.1

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

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Pterofiltrus
Benoem deur: Jiang and Wang 20114
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Ctenochasmatidae4
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 126 tot 120 miljoen jaar (Barremian / Aptian)4
Rotsformasies: Yixian4
Lande: China4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Pterofiltrus was named by scientists Jiang Shunxing and Wang Xiaolin in 2011. The only known fossil, a skull and some neck bones, was found at Zhangjiagou in Liaoning, China.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how Pterofiltrus used its many teeth to catch food, but they think it may have strained small animals from the water.1
