Fakte argëtuese
Tropeognathus is one of the largest pterosaurs ever found in the southern continents (Gondwana).1
A huge specimen (MN 6594-V) had a wingspan of about 8.26 to 8.7 metres, as wide as a small airplane.1
It lived during the Early Cretaceous, about 119 to 113 million years ago.2
Tropeognathus had a low, blunt crest on the top of its skull, unlike some other pterosaurs with tall crests.1
Its name means 'keel jaw', because of the ridge on its lower jaw that looks like a boat's keel.4
The first fossil of Tropeognathus was a skull and lower jaw found in Brazil.4
