Alamodactylus

Igama lithetha: “Alamo finger, named after the Alamo symbol of Texas independence”1
Yayitya: IintlanziIzirhubuluzi ezibhabhayoiCretaceous yamvaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Alamodactylus was a flying reptile that soared over Texas about 88 million years ago. It had long, narrow wings and probably glided over the sea to catch fish. It was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur, a close cousin of dinosaurs.14

Inyani emnandi: iipterosauri zazibhabha phezu kweedayinaso, kodwa zazingabazala bazo, hayi iidayinaso ngokwazo.

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

1

Alamodactylus is known from only one partial wing, including a humerus and other bones, found in Texas.1

2

Its name means 'Alamo finger' because the fossil was found in Texas, the 'Alamo' state, and pterosaurs often have 'finger' in their names due to their long wing digits.1

3

Scientists think it was a medium-sized pterosaur, but they don't know its exact size because only a few bones have been found.1

4

The fossil was first thought to be from a Pteranodon, but later study showed it was a new kind of pterosaur.1

5

Alamodactylus lived about 89.8 to 88 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

6

Its wing bones show a unique combination of features, like a constricted humerus shaft and a D-shaped cross-section, that set it apart from other pterosaurs.1

Yenziwe yi-AIUmfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Alamodactylus
Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Alamodactylus esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.
ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Alamodactylus

?How big was Alamodactylus?

Its wingspan is estimated at about 4 to 5 metres (13 to 16.5 feet), but scientists are not sure because only a few bones have been found.3

?What did Alamodactylus eat?

It was a carnivore and probably caught fish by flying over the sea.3

?When did Alamodactylus live?

It lived about 89.8 to 88 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Alamodactylus was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: It was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is a close relative of dinosaurs, but not a dinosaur itself.1

Ukufunyanwa
The fossil was discovered by Gary Byrd, who it is named after, and first described in 2010. It was given its own genus and species name, Alamodactylus byrdi, by Brian Andres and Timothy Myers in 2013.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo
Scientists still debate exactly where Alamodactylus fits in the pterosaur family tree. Some studies place it close to Pteranodon, while others put it in the Nyctosauridae group.1
