Herbstosaurus was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. It lived in the Late Jurassic period in what is now Argentina. This pterosaur was small and probably ate fish.1 3

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Herbstosaurus was first thought to be a small dinosaur, like Compsognathus. Later scientists realized it was a pterosaur, a flying reptile.1 2

The only known fossil of Herbstosaurus is a partial skeleton, including parts of the pelvis, sacrum, and both thigh bones. It is preserved in a sandstone nodule that also contains an ammonite shell.1 2

The name Herbstosaurus honors Rafael Herbst, the paleobotanist who found the fossil in 1969.1

Herbstosaurus lived about 149 to 143 million years ago, during the Tithonian age of the Late Jurassic.3 2

Scientists think Herbstosaurus might belong to a group called Dsungaripteroidea, but this is not certain. It is a deeply nested pterodactyloid pterosaur.2

The fossil of Herbstosaurus was found in the Vaca Muerta Formation in Argentina, a place known for many Jurassic marine fossils.3 2

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

?Was Herbstosaurus a dinosaur?

No, Herbstosaurus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. It was first thought to be a small dinosaur, but later scientists realized it was a pterosaur.1 2

?How big was Herbstosaurus?

Herbstosaurus was small, but its exact size is not known because only a partial skeleton has been found. It was originally thought to be one of the smallest dinosaurs, but it is a pterosaur.1 2

?What did Herbstosaurus eat?

Herbstosaurus probably ate fish, like many other pterosaurs. Its fossils were found in a marine rock formation, suggesting it lived near the sea.1 2

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Herbstosaurus was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Herbstosaurus was actually a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. It was originally mistaken for a small theropod dinosaur.1 2

Igama lenzululwazi: Herbstosaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Casamiquela 19753
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Pterodactyloidea3
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 149 ukuya ku-143 izigidi zeminyaka (Tithonian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Vaca Muerta3
Amazwe: i-Argentina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Rafael Herbst found the fossil in 1969 in Neuquén Province, Argentina. In 1975, paleontologist Rodolfo Casamiquela named it Herbstosaurus pigmaeus, thinking it was a small dinosaur.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly which group of pterosaurs Herbstosaurus belongs to. It might be a dsungaripteroid, but the evidence is weak.2
