Tacuadactylus was a flying reptile that lived about 150 million years ago. It had a long snout with many small teeth, perfect for scooping up fish. It was one of the first pterosaurs ever found in Uruguay!1

Dintlha tse di monate

1

Tacuadactylus was first mistaken for a sawfish! In 2016, scientists thought the snout belonged to an ancient fish, but a CAT scan showed it was actually a pterosaur.1

2

Its teeth were not straight up and down. They pointed forward and to the sides, which is unusual.2

3

Tacuadactylus had about 1.58 to 2 teeth per centimeter of jaw, making it a very toothy creature.2

4

It was the oldest known ctenochasmatid pterosaur from South America when it was named in 2021.1

5

The name 'luciae' honors the daughter of one of the scientists who described it.1

6

Tacuadactylus lived during the Late Jurassic, about 152 to 145 million years ago.1

Mothubi wa ditlhamane

Tlhamane: Some people might think Tacuadactylus was a dinosaur because it lived long ago and had wings.

Boammaaruri: Tacuadactylus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. Pterosaurs are a separate group of reptiles.1

Go fitlhelwa
The first fossil, a snout, was found near Batoví in Uruguay and was initially reported as a sawfish in 2016. In 2021, scientists named it Tacuadactylus luciae after studying it more closely.1
Go sa ntse go ganetsanwa
Scientists are still debating exactly how Tacuadactylus used its spoon-shaped snout and many teeth to feed.2
