Gallodactylus lived about 149 to 145 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic period.1
Its name means 'rooster finger', because scientists thought its wing finger looked like a rooster's toe.3
Only one species is known: Gallodactylus canjuersensis.1
The only fossil of Gallodactylus is a partial skeleton found in a limestone quarry in France.1
Some scientists think Gallodactylus might actually be the same animal as Cycnorhamphus.1
