Simurghia was named in 2018 along with two other pterosaurs from the same area: Alcione and Barbaridactylus.1

Its name comes from the Simurgh, a giant bird-like creature in Persian myths.1

Simurghia lived about 66 million years ago, just before the big extinction that killed the dinosaurs.1

All known fossils of Simurghia were found during a three-year dig that uncovered about 200 pterosaur specimens.1

Simurghia was much bigger than its close relative Alcione, weighing about 560 percent more.1

The type specimen is just a single upper arm bone (humerus), but it is enough to tell this was a distinct species.1
