2

It lived during the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, between 83.6 and 72.2 million years ago.1

3

The type specimen of Cryodrakon is a set of postcranial bones, meaning skull and jaws are not yet known.5

4

Cryodrakon belonged to a group called Azhdarchidae, which includes some of the largest flying animals ever.1

5

Its fossils come from two locations in Alberta, Canada, both from the same rock formation.5

?When did Cryodrakon live?

Cryodrakon lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 76.7 to 74.3 million years ago.4

?Where was Cryodrakon found?

Cryodrakon fossils were discovered in Alberta, Canada, in the Dinosaur Park Formation. The first bones were found in 1972, and the most complete skeleton was uncovered in 1992.24

?Is Cryodrakon a dinosaur?

No, Cryodrakon is not a dinosaur. It is a pterosaur, a type of flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs.24

Cryodrakon was named and described by scientists David Hone, Michael Habib, and Francois Therrien in 2019, based on fossils found in Alberta, Canada.51
Anc discutà
Because the skull and jaws have not been found, scientists are not sure of the exact shape of Cryodrakon's head or how it captured prey.5
