Harpactognathus

Igama lithetha: “seizing or grasping jaw”1

Yayitya: InyamaIzirhubuluzi ezibhabhayoiJurassic yamvaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Harpactognathus was a large flying reptile that lived during the Jurassic period. It had a strong, wide beak and sharp teeth for grabbing prey. This pterosaur was one of the biggest of its kind that did not belong to the short-tailed pterodactyl group.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Harpactognathus is known from only a partial skull and a few other bones, so scientists are still learning about its full appearance.1

It had a crest on the front of its skull that might have been used for display to attract mates or show off to rivals.1

With a wingspan of about 2.5 metres (8.2 feet), Harpactognathus was among the largest non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs.1

Its fossils were found in the Morrison Formation, the same rock layer that contains famous dinosaurs like Stegosaurus and Diplodocus.1

Unlike many other pterosaurs that ate fish, Harpactognathus probably hunted small animals on land near rivers and lakes.1

The name Harpactognathus comes from Greek words meaning 'seizing jaw', which describes its strong, grabbing beak.1

Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Harpactognathus

?Was Harpactognathus a dinosaur?

No, Harpactognathus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a dinosaur.1

?How big was Harpactognathus?

?What did Harpactognathus eat?

It was a terrestrial carnivore that probably hunted small animals on land near rivers and lakes, not fish like many other pterosaurs.1

?Where was Harpactognathus found?

Its fossils were found in the Morrison Formation in Wyoming, USA, the same rock layer as Stegosaurus and Diplodocus.1

?Did Harpactognathus have a crest?

Yes, it had a thin crest on the front of its skull that may have been used for display to attract mates or show off to rivals.1

?When did Harpactognathus live?

It lived during the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic period, about 157 to 152 million years ago.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Harpactognathus is often thought to be a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Harpactognathus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is not a dinosaur.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Harpactognathus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Carpenter et al. 20032
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Lonchognatha2
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria2
Ubudala bamatye: 152 ukuya ku-145 izigidi zeminyaka (Kimmeridgian / Tithonian)2
Izakhiwo zamatye: Morrison2
Amazwe: iUSA2
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database2
Ukufunyanwa: Harpactognathus was named in 2003 by paleontologist Kenneth Carpenter and his team. The first fossil, a partial snout, was found in 1996 at Bone Cabin Quarry in Wyoming, USA. The species name honors Joe Gentry, a volunteer who helped with fossil preparation.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure whether Harpactognathus belongs to the scaphognathine or rhamphorhynchine group of pterosaurs, because its fossils are so incomplete.1
