Herbstosaurus

O nome significa: “Herbst lizard”1
Comía: PeixeRéptiles voadoresXurásico Superior a Cretáceo InferiorTecnicamente non é un dinosauro

Herbstosaurus was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. It lived in the Late Jurassic period in what is now Argentina. This pterosaur was small and probably ate fish.13

Dato curioso: os pterosauros voaban por riba dos dinosauros, pero eran os seus curmáns, non dinosauros.

Datos curiosos

1

Herbstosaurus was first thought to be a small dinosaur, like Compsognathus. Later scientists realized it was a pterosaur, a flying reptile.12

2

The only known fossil of Herbstosaurus is a partial skeleton, including parts of the pelvis, sacrum, and both thigh bones. It is preserved in a sandstone nodule that also contains an ammonite shell.12

3

The name Herbstosaurus honors Rafael Herbst, the paleobotanist who found the fossil in 1969.1

4

Herbstosaurus lived about 149 to 143 million years ago, during the Tithonian age of the Late Jurassic.32

5

Scientists think Herbstosaurus might belong to a group called Dsungaripteroidea, but this is not certain. It is a deeply nested pterodactyloid pterosaur.2

6

The fossil of Herbstosaurus was found in the Vaca Muerta Formation in Argentina, a place known for many Jurassic marine fossils.32

Rafael Herbst found the fossil in 1969 in Neuquén Province, Argentina. In 1975, paleontologist Rodolfo Casamiquela named it Herbstosaurus pigmaeus, thinking it was a small dinosaur.1
