Domeykodactylus was first thought to be a different pterosaur called Pterodaustro, but scientists later realized it was a new species.1

Its skull was about 30 centimeters (12 inches) long, about the size of a ruler.1

Domeykodactylus had a crest on top of its snout made of thin bone struts, which gave it a bumpy texture.1

It had 16 tooth sockets in each lower jaw bone, but the teeth themselves were small and have not been found.1

Domeykodactylus was the first pterosaur of its family, the Dsungaripteridae, ever found in South America. Most others lived in Asia.1

Its fossils were found in rocks that are between 143 and 100 million years old, from the Early Cretaceous period.3
