Anndal belɗungal

1

Cuspicephalus had a skull that was almost five and a half times longer than it was tall. That is the most extreme ratio of any pterosaur.2

2

Its name means 'pointed head' and it was named after the cartoonist Gerald Scarfe, whose drawings often have very pointy noses.1

3

Cuspicephalus is one of the first non-pterodactyloid monofenestratan pterosaurs found outside China.1

4

The only known fossil is a flattened skull found on a beach at Kimmeridge Bay, part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.21

5

Cuspicephalus had at least 12 or 13 pairs of teeth in front of a large hole in its skull called the nasoantorbital fenestra.1

Scientists are not sure whether Cuspicephalus was more closely related to Darwinopterus or to pterodactyloids like Germanodactylus.1
