Igama lithetha: “beak head”1

Rhamphocephalus was a flying reptile that lived during the Middle Jurassic. It soared over the warm seas of what is now England, snatching fish with its sharp beak. But scientists now think some of its bones actually belong to a different kind of reptile, a marine crocodylomorph!1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Rhamphocephalus was originally thought to be a pterosaur, but the type species, R. prestwichi, is now considered a thalattosuchian (a marine crocodylomorph).1

The name Rhamphocephalus was used as a 'wastebasket taxon' for many British Jurassic pterosaur remains, meaning it was a catch-all for fossils that didn't fit elsewhere.1

Fossils of Rhamphocephalus range from about 168 to 155 million years old, from the Bathonian to the Oxfordian stages of the Jurassic.2

Several species once placed in Rhamphocephalus, like Pterodactylus bucklandii, are now considered pterosaurs but not within this genus.1

The holotype (original specimen) of Rhamphocephalus prestwichi is just a fragment of skull roof, which made it hard for scientists to identify correctly.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Rhamphocephalus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Rhamphocephalus 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: Rhamphocephalus is definitely a pterosaur.

Inyaniso: The type species is actually a thalattosuchian (a marine crocodylomorph). The pterosaur species once grouped with it are now considered separate.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Rhamphocephalus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Seeley 18805
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Rhamphorhynchidae5
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Rhamphorhynchidae5
Ubudala bamatye: 168 ukuya ku-155 izigidi zeminyaka (Bathonian / Oxfordian)5
Izakhiwo zamatye: Taynton Limestone, Cotswold Slate, Chipping Norton Limestone5
Amazwe: iUnited Kingdom5
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 10 kwi-Paleobiology Database5
Ikwaziwa ngokuba: Dolichorhamphus (amagama amadala ngoku abalwa njengesilwanyana esinye)5
Ukufunyanwa: Harry Seeley named Rhamphocephalus prestwichi in 1880 based on a skull roof fragment found by Professor Prestwich in Gloucestershire, England.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still unsure which pterosaur species belong to Rhamphocephalus, because many of the fossils are incomplete or poorly preserved.1
