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

Fatgs divertents

1

Gnathosaurus had a spoon-shaped tip on its snout, lined with up to 130 needle-like teeth.1

2

The first Gnathosaurus fossils were found in 1832 in Germany, but scientists thought they were from a crocodile, not a pterosaur.1

3

Gnathosaurus had a wingspan of about 1.7 meters (5.6 feet), which is about the same as a large eagle.1

4

Its skull was very slender and only 28 centimeters (11 inches) long, but it held a huge number of teeth.1

5

Gnathosaurus lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 149 to 145 million years ago.2

6

Some scientists think that young Gnathosaurus might have been mistaken for a different pterosaur called Aurorazhdarcho.1

The first Gnathosaurus fossils were discovered in 1832 in the Solnhofen Limestone of Germany. They were first thought to be from a crocodile, but Hermann von Meyer named them Gnathosaurus subulatus in 1833.1
Anc discutà
Scientists are still debating whether some small pterosaur skeletons, once called Pterodactylus micronyx or Aurorazhdarcho, are actually young Gnathosaurus.1
