1

Its name means 'caulk head', because the first part of its skull was found in a rock that looked like caulk, a kind of sealant.1

3

It had different-sized teeth: the fifth, sixth and seventh teeth were smaller than the others.1

4

This pterosaur lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 125 to 121 million years ago.4

Only a partial skull and some other bones have been found, so scientists are still learning about it.1
