Кызыктуу фактылар
Petrodactyle is one of the largest pterosaurs known from the Jurassic period, with a wingspan of about 2.1 metres (6.9 feet).1
It had a large bony crest on the back of its skull, which helped give it a powerful bite.1
Its teeth were short and spike-like, and only found in the front half of its jaws. This suggests it grabbed prey with a strong grip.1
Petrodactyle had long legs and could probably wade in shallow water to hunt.1
The only known fossil was found in 2010 in a public quarry in Germany. It is a mostly complete skeleton of a subadult.1
The name Petrodactyle means 'stone finger', a nod to the first pterosaur ever named, Pterodactylus.1
