Serradraco was a flying reptile that lived about 139 to 132 million years ago. It had a saw-like lower jaw and probably caught fish over the seas near England.13

Prettige feite
Serradraco's name means 'saw dragon' because its lower jaw had a saw-like upper edge.1
The first fossils were just a pair of lower jaws, found by a collector named Samuel Husband Beckles.1
For a long time, scientists thought Serradraco belonged to other pterosaur groups, like Pterodactylus, Ornithocheirus, and Lonchodectes.1
A second specimen includes fused tail bones, a piece of jaw with teeth, and parts of a wing.1
Serradraco lived during the Early Cretaceous period, in the Berriasian to Valanginian ages.3
The teeth of Serradraco show microwear patterns similar to those of modern fish-eating reptiles, so it likely hunted fish.1

Mite-breker
Mite: Serradraco is a dinosaur.
Waarheid: Serradraco is a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is not a dinosaur.1

- Richard Owen named the first fossils, a pair of lower jaws, as Pterodactylus sagittirostris in 1874. In 2017, Rigal, Martill, and Sweetman gave it the new genus name Serradraco.1
- Steeds omstrede
- Scientists are not sure if Serradraco belongs in the family Lonchodectidae. Some studies say it does, while others suggest it does not.1
