Lonchodectes was a flying reptile with long, narrow jaws that worked like a pair of sugar tongs. It snapped up fish from the sea with its many small, sharp teeth. This pterosaur lived about 94 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous.1

Ebyewuunyisa

Lonchodectes had jaws that were flattened from top to bottom, like a pair of sugar tongs with teeth.1

The name Lonchodectes means 'lance biter' because of its long, pointed jaws.1

Many fossils of Lonchodectes are just jaw fragments, so scientists are not sure exactly what the whole animal looked like.1

Lonchodectes belonged to a group of pterosaurs called lonchodectids, which are known from the mid-Cretaceous of England, China, and Russia.2

The type species, Lonchodectes compressirostris, was first named in 1851 as a species of Pterodactylus by Richard Owen.1

Lonchodectes probably had a crest on its lower jaw, like its close relatives.1

Ekifaananyi kya Lonchodectes ekyakolebwa AI, nga kiraga engeri gye yayinza okuba ng'afaanana, ekyakolebwa kompyuta okusinziira ku ebyo bannassaayansi bye bamanyi. Kuteebereza: ekisolo ekyennyini kiyinza okuba nga kyali kifaanana bulala, era tewali amanyi langi zaakyo ez'amazima.

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: Lonchodectes is sometimes thought to be a dinosaur.

Amazima: Lonchodectes was a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a dinosaur.1

Okuzuulibwa: The first fossils of Lonchodectes were found in the Upper Chalk of Kent, England. Richard Owen named the type species Pterodactylus compressirostris in 1851, and Reginald Hooley gave it the name Lonchodectes in 1914.1
Kikyakubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo: Scientists are not sure how many species belong to Lonchodectes, because most fossils are just small jaw pieces.1
