Sericipterus was a flying reptile that lived about 160 million years ago in what is now China. It had a wingspan of at least 1.73 meters (5.7 feet), making it one of the largest pterosaurs of its time. It probably soared over lakes and rivers, catching fish with its long, sharp teeth.1 2

ደስ ዝብሉ ሓቅታት

Sericipterus had three bony crests on its head: one on the snout, one on top of the skull, and a short crest at the front of the skull.1

It was one of the largest non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs, meaning it belonged to an early group of pterosaurs that did not have the short tails and long heads of later forms.2

The name Sericipterus comes from the Silk Road, the ancient trade route that passed through the region where it was found.1

Its teeth were curved, sharply pointed, and had two keels (sharp edges) for cutting, like steak knives.1

The holotype specimen (IVPP V14725) includes a disarticulated skull, partial lower jaw, many teeth, parts of the spine, wing bones, and other fragments.2

Sericipterus lived in a terrestrial (land) environment, unlike many pterosaurs that lived near the sea.2

ርኽበት: Sericipterus was named and described in 2010 by Brian Andres, James Clark, and Xu Xing. The fossils were found during joint expeditions from 2001 to 2006 in the Wucaiwan area of the Junggar Basin in China.1 2
ገና ዘከራኽር: Scientists are not sure how many teeth Sericipterus had in its lower jaw, because the lower jaw bones were not fully preserved.1
