名字的意思： “Austrian finger”1

吃：昆蟲飛行爬蟲類三疊紀晚期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Austriadactylus was an early flying reptile with a long tail and a crest on its head. It lived about 215 million years ago in what is now Austria and Italy. This pterosaur had many different kinds of teeth, perfect for crunching hard-shelled bugs.1 2

趣味小知識：翼龍在恐龍頭上飛來飛去，但牠們是恐龍的親戚，不是恐龍喔。

趣味知識

Austriadactylus had a bony crest on its head that started at the tip of its snout and went back to above its eye. The crest was about 2 cm tall.2 1

Its teeth were very different from each other. It had tall, pointed teeth at the front, blade-like teeth with tiny serrations in the middle, and triangular teeth with up to 12 small points at the back.2

Unlike many other long-tailed pterosaurs, Austriadactylus had a flexible tail without stiff rods made of bone.2 1

The only known fossil of Austriadactylus was found in an abandoned mine near Ankerschlag in Tyrol, Austria.2 1

Austriadactylus lived during the Late Triassic period, about 215 million years ago, in a shallow sea environment with islands.1 2

Its skull was 11 cm long, and its estimated wingspan was about 120 cm (about 4 feet).2 1

The name Austriadactylus cristatus means 'crested Austrian finger', referring to the wing finger and the crest on its head.1

?What did Austriadactylus eat?

It mostly ate hard-shelled bugs. Scientists can tell from the tiny scratches on its teeth that it crunched hard invertebrates.1

?How big was Austriadactylus?

Its wingspan was about 120 cm (47 inches), and its skull was 11 cm long. It was about the size of a crow.1

?Did Austriadactylus have a crest?

Yes, it had a bony crest on its head that started at the tip of its snout and went back to above its eye. The crest was about 2 cm tall.1

?Is Austriadactylus a dinosaur?

No, it is a pterosaur, which is a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs but is not a dinosaur.1
