Caupedactylus

Igama lithetha: “Caupe's finger, after the Tupi goddess of beauty”1

Yayitya: IzityaloIzirhubuluzi ezibhabhayoiCretaceous yokuqalaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Caupedactylus was a flying reptile with a big, thin crest on its head. It had no teeth and used its beak to eat fruit. It lived about 110 million years ago in what is now Brazil.1 3

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Caupedactylus had a wingspan of about 3.3 metres (11 feet), making it the largest known tapejarine pterosaur.1

Its skull was about 46 centimetres long and had a large, rounded crest that was only half a millimetre thick at the top.1

The tip of its snout curved downward, and its upper jaw had a slightly concave lower edge.1

The crest on its snout had grooves that may have held blood vessels, possibly helping with temperature control.2

Its lower jaw had a thick, slightly convex surface at the rear, and when closed it fit tightly against the upper jaw with no gap.1

The holotype specimen (MN 4726-V) is an adult, which is rare for pterosaurs from this formation.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Caupedactylus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Caupedactylus 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: Caupedactylus

?What did Caupedactylus eat?

It ate fruit. Its beak had no teeth, and the Paleobiology Database lists it as a volant frugivore, meaning a flying fruit-eater.3

?How big was Caupedactylus?

Its wingspan was about 3.3 metres, making it the largest known tapejarine pterosaur. Its skull was about 46 centimetres long.1

?When did Caupedactylus live?

It lived about 110 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period (Albian stage).1

?Where was Caupedactylus found?

Its fossils were found in the Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin in northeastern Brazil.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Caupedactylus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Kellner 20133
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Tapejaridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 120 ukuya ku-113 izigidi zeminyaka (Aptian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Crato3
Amazwe: iBrazil3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Caupedactylus was named and described by Alexander Kellner in 2013 based on a partial skeleton found in the Romualdo Formation of Brazil.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating whether the bones in the front of the palate are part of the palatine bones or the maxillae.1
