Gallodactylus was a flying reptile that lived near the sea. It had a long beak and probably scooped up fish for dinner. It was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur.3

Gallodactylus lived about 149 to 145 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic period.1

Its name means 'rooster finger', because scientists thought its wing finger looked like a rooster's toe.3

Only one species is known: Gallodactylus canjuersensis.1

The only fossil of Gallodactylus is a partial skeleton found in a limestone quarry in France.1

Some scientists think Gallodactylus might actually be the same animal as Cycnorhamphus.1

Nsɛm a wɔbisa bebree fa Gallodactylus ho

?How big was Gallodactylus?

No exact size is given in the sources, but it was a medium sized pterosaur with a wingspan estimated at about 1.5 metres (5 feet).2 3

?Did Gallodactylus have teeth?

Yes, it had peg-like teeth at the tips of its jaws, which were blunter and stouter in older individuals.2

?What did Gallodactylus eat?

It was a piscivore, meaning it ate fish, and may also have used its unusual jaws to crush hard invertebrates like mollusks.3 2

?Is Gallodactylus the same as Cycnorhamphus?

Many scientists think so. In 1996, it was reclassified as Cycnorhamphus canjuersensis, and later studies suggested the two species might be the same animal.3 2
