Its teeth splay outward at the tip of the snout, just like the teeth of another pterosaur called Ctenochasma.1
3
It lived during the Early Cretaceous, about 122 million years ago.1
4
The name Cathayopterus uses 'Cathay,' an old word for China, so it means 'China wing.'1
5
The species name grabaui honors American geologist Amadeus W. Grabau, who studied early Chinese fossils.1
