Zhejiangopterus had no teeth at all. Its beak was long, thin and pointed, perfect for grabbing fish.1
Its skull was long and low, with a single large oval opening that took up nearly half the length of the head.1
The wing finger metacarpal bone was longer than the combined radius and ulna bones in the arm.1
Its thigh bone was about one and a half times longer than its upper arm bone.1
Zhejiangopterus lived around 81.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1
It was discovered by a local villager named Chengfa Xu in 1986 while he was splitting rocks in a quarry.1
