Maaradactylus

Igama lithetha: “Maara's finger, from a folk tale about a river monster with long teeth that ate fishermen”1

Yayitya: IintlanziIzirhubuluzi ezibhabhayoiCretaceous yokuqalaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Maaradactylus was a flying reptile with a long, tooth-filled snout and a tall crest on its head. It glided over the ancient sea in what is now Brazil, scooping up fish with its many sharp teeth. Its wings were long and thin, perfect for soaring above the water.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

The skull of Maaradactylus is one of the largest of any anhanguerid pterosaur, measuring 75 centimetres (30 inches) long.1

It had at least 36 pairs of teeth in its upper jaw, more than any other anhanguerid pterosaur.1

The tip of its snout was expanded and rounded, a bit like a spoon, and the front teeth pointed forward while the rest pointed downward.1

Maaradactylus lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 119 to 113 million years ago.4

The small teeth at the back of its mouth were arranged in triplets, a feature unique to this animal.1

The crest on its snout was about 9.2 centimetres (3.6 inches) tall and had grooves that may have held blood vessels.1 2

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

Igama lenzululwazi: Maaradactylus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Bantim et al. 20144
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Anhangueridae4
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea4
Ubudala bamatye: 120 ukuya ku-113 izigidi zeminyaka (Aptian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Romualdo4
Amazwe: iBrazil4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 3 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: The first fossil, a skull with the first two neck bones, was found in 2010 in the Romualdo Formation of Brazil. It was named Maaradactylus kellneri in 2014 by Renan Bantim and colleagues, honoring pterosaur expert Alexander Kellner.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure if the species once called Coloborhynchus spielbergi really belongs to Maaradactylus or to another genus like Anhanguera.1
