Serradraco was a flying reptile that lived about 139 to 132 million years ago. It had a saw-like lower jaw and probably caught fish over the seas near England.1 3

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Serradraco's name means 'saw dragon' because its lower jaw had a saw-like upper edge.1

The first fossils were just a pair of lower jaws, found by a collector named Samuel Husband Beckles.1

For a long time, scientists thought Serradraco belonged to other pterosaur groups, like Pterodactylus, Ornithocheirus, and Lonchodectes.1

A second specimen includes fused tail bones, a piece of jaw with teeth, and parts of a wing.1

Serradraco lived during the Early Cretaceous period, in the Berriasian to Valanginian ages.3

The teeth of Serradraco show microwear patterns similar to those of modern fish-eating reptiles, so it likely hunted fish.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Serradraco — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Serradraco 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: Serradraco is a dinosaur.

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

Igama lenzululwazi: Serradraco
Inikwe igama ngu:: Rigal et al. 20173
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Lonchodectidae3
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 139 ukuya ku-133 izigidi zeminyaka (Berriasian / Valanginian)3
Amazwe: iUnited Kingdom3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Richard Owen named the first fossils, a pair of lower jaws, as Pterodactylus sagittirostris in 1874. In 2017, Rigal, Martill, and Sweetman gave it the new genus name Serradraco.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure if Serradraco belongs in the family Lonchodectidae. Some studies say it does, while others suggest it does not.1
