Igama lithetha: “lance jaw lizard”1

Lonchognathosaurus was a flying reptile with a long, pointed snout and needle-like teeth. It soared over lakes and rivers in what is now China during the Early Cretaceous Period, about 137 to 100 million years ago. It was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur, a close cousin of dinosaurs.1 2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Its skull was about 400 mm (15.75 inches) long, and the tip of its upper jaw was needle-like.1

It had only eight teeth in each upper jaw, and they were spaced far apart, getting smaller towards the back.1 3

Unlike many other pterosaurs, the bottom edge of its upper jaw was straight, not curved.1

It had a crest on its head with grooves and a concave front edge.1

In 2022, a wing bone from Siberia was identified as possibly belonging to Lonchognathosaurus, suggesting it lived over a wider area than first thought.1

Some scientists think it might be the same as another pterosaur called Dsungaripterus, but others disagree.1 2

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

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Lonchognathosaurus was a dinosaur.

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

Ukufunyanwa: The first fossil, a partial skull and lower jaws, was found near Urumqi, China, and named by Michael Maisch, Andreas Matzke, and Sun Ge in 2004.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists debate whether Lonchognathosaurus is a valid genus or the same as Dsungaripterus or Noripterus.1 2
