Maaradactylus was a flying reptile with a long, tooth-filled snout and a tall crest on its head. It glided over the ancient sea in what is now Brazil, scooping up fish with its many sharp teeth. Its wings were long and thin, perfect for soaring above the water.1

2

It had at least 36 pairs of teeth in its upper jaw, more than any other anhanguerid pterosaur.1

3

The tip of its snout was expanded and rounded, a bit like a spoon, and the front teeth pointed forward while the rest pointed downward.1

4

Maaradactylus lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 119 to 113 million years ago.4

5

The small teeth at the back of its mouth were arranged in triplets, a feature unique to this animal.1

The first fossil, a skull with the first two neck bones, was found in 2010 in the Romualdo Formation of Brazil. It was named Maaradactylus kellneri in 2014 by Renan Bantim and colleagues, honoring pterosaur expert Alexander Kellner.12
Anc discutà
Scientists are not sure if the species once called Coloborhynchus spielbergi really belongs to Maaradactylus or to another genus like Anhanguera.1
