Dintlha tse di monate
Ningchengopterus had 50 teeth: 12 in each upper jaw and 13 in each lower jaw.1
Its skull was only 38 millimetres long, about the size of a large grape.1
The fossil shows soft parts like the flight membrane and pycnofibres, which are fuzzy hair-like coverings.1
It was the first small toothed pterodactyloid pterosaur ever found in China.1
Scientists think Ningchengopterus could fly right after hatching, with little help from its parents.1
The fossil was collected by Ms Liu Jingyi, who donated it to science.1
