Gnathosaurus
Gnathosaurus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived during the Late Jurassic period. It had a long, thin skull with up to 130 needle-like teeth, which it used to scoop up small prey from the water. Imagine a flying reptile that acted like a modern spoonbill, wading through shallow water with its mouth open!1

Gnathosaurus had a spoon-shaped tip on its snout, lined with up to 130 needle-like teeth.1
The first Gnathosaurus fossils were found in 1832 in Germany, but scientists thought they were from a crocodile, not a pterosaur.1
Gnathosaurus had a wingspan of about 1.7 meters (5.6 feet), which is about the same as a large eagle.1
Its skull was very slender and only 28 centimeters (11 inches) long, but it held a huge number of teeth.1
Gnathosaurus lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 149 to 145 million years ago.2
Some scientists think that young Gnathosaurus might have been mistaken for a different pterosaur called Aurorazhdarcho.1
