Fatgs divertents

1

Sinopterus had a long, bony crest on top of its skull that pointed backward like a spike.1

2

Its beak had no teeth, similar to modern birds and some other pterosaurs.1

3

Scientists found tiny plant fossils (phytoliths) in the stomach of a Sinopterus, proving it ate plants.1

4

Sinopterus also swallowed small stones (gastroliths) to help grind up tough plant food in its gizzard.1

5

It was one of the first tapejarid pterosaurs found outside Brazil, showing these flying reptiles lived in many places.1

6

The largest Sinopterus had a wingspan of about 1.9 metres (6.2 feet) and weighed around 2.9 kilograms (6.3 pounds).1

7

Many scientists now think that only one species of Sinopterus is valid: Sinopterus dongi.2

Anc discutà
Scientists still debate how many different species of Sinopterus existed, because the crests and sizes vary a lot among fossils.2
