Dintlha tse di monate
Austriadactylus had a bony crest on its head that started at the tip of its snout and went back to above its eye. The crest was about 2 cm tall.21
Its teeth were very different from each other. It had tall, pointed teeth at the front, blade-like teeth with tiny serrations in the middle, and triangular teeth with up to 12 small points at the back.2
Unlike many other long-tailed pterosaurs, Austriadactylus had a flexible tail without stiff rods made of bone.21
The only known fossil of Austriadactylus was found in an abandoned mine near Ankerschlag in Tyrol, Austria.21
Austriadactylus lived during the Late Triassic period, about 215 million years ago, in a shallow sea environment with islands.12
The name Austriadactylus cristatus means 'crested Austrian finger', referring to the wing finger and the crest on its head.1

Yes, it had a bony crest on its head that started at the tip of its snout and went back to above its eye. The crest was about 2 cm tall.1

- Scientists are not sure if Austriadactylus is a close relative of Eudimorphodon or if it belongs to a different group. Some think it might even be the same animal as Eudimorphodon.1
