Lonchognathosaurus
Lonchognathosaurus was a flying reptile with a long, pointed snout and needle-like teeth. It soared over lakes and rivers in what is now China during the Early Cretaceous Period, about 137 to 100 million years ago. It was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur, a close cousin of dinosaurs.12

Its skull was about 400 mm (15.75 inches) long, and the tip of its upper jaw was needle-like.1
It had only eight teeth in each upper jaw, and they were spaced far apart, getting smaller towards the back.13
Unlike many other pterosaurs, the bottom edge of its upper jaw was straight, not curved.1
It had a crest on its head with grooves and a concave front edge.1
In 2022, a wing bone from Siberia was identified as possibly belonging to Lonchognathosaurus, suggesting it lived over a wider area than first thought.1
