Datos curiosos
Infernodrakon was named in 2025, making it one of the newest pterosaurs discovered.3
Its species name, hastacollis, means 'spear-necked' because of its long, pointed neck bones.1
This pterosaur lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian stage of the Cretaceous Period.3
Infernodrakon is a medium-sized azhdarchid pterosaur, a group that includes some of the largest flying animals ever.1
Scientists used a laser scanner to study its fossil neck bone in 3D, which helped them see it was a new species.1
Infernodrakon is more closely related to Arambourgiania, a giant pterosaur from Jordan, than to Quetzalcoatlus.1
