Petrodactyle is one of the largest pterosaurs known from the Jurassic period, with a wingspan of about 2.1 metres (6.9 feet).1

It had a large bony crest on the back of its skull, which helped give it a powerful bite.1

Its teeth were short and spike-like, and only found in the front half of its jaws. This suggests it grabbed prey with a strong grip.1

Petrodactyle had long legs and could probably wade in shallow water to hunt.1

The only known fossil was found in 2010 in a public quarry in Germany. It is a mostly complete skeleton of a subadult.1

The name Petrodactyle means 'stone finger', a nod to the first pterosaur ever named, Pterodactylus.1

?How big was Petrodactyle?

Petrodactyle had a wingspan of about 2.1 metres (6.9 feet), making it one of the largest pterosaurs from the Solnhofen area and one of the largest Jurassic pterosaurs.2 1

?Where did Petrodactyle live?

Petrodactyle lived in what is now Germany about 150 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic. Its fossils were found in the Mörnsheim Formation in Bavaria.2 3
