Coloborhynchus

名字的意思： “maimed beak”1

吃：魚飛行爬蟲類白堊紀早期到白堊紀晚期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Coloborhynchus was a flying reptile with a long, toothed snout that lived near the sea. It soared over the waves and snatched fish with its sharp teeth. Some scientists think it was one of the biggest toothed pterosaurs ever!1

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。

酷東西

趣味知識

Coloborhynchus lived about 140 to 94 million years ago, during the Cretaceous Period.4

Its name means 'maimed beak' because the first fossil found was a damaged snout.1

The first Coloborhynchus fossil was a piece of the upper jaw with tooth sockets, found in England.1 2

Coloborhynchus belonged to a group called Anhangueridae, which were fish-eating pterosaurs with crests on their snouts.4 1

Some scientists now think only one species, Coloborhynchus clavirostris, truly belongs to this genus.2

Fossils of Coloborhynchus have been found in both England and Morocco, showing it lived in different parts of the world.4 1

Coloborhynchus had a flat, squared-off tip on its upper jaw, which helped it catch fish.2

關於 Coloborhynchus 最常被問的問題

?How big was Coloborhynchus?

It could have a wingspan of about 7 metres (23 feet), which is as long as a small boat. The largest toothed pterosaur specimen, Coloborhynchus capito, had a skull up to 75 centimetres long.1 3

?What did Coloborhynchus eat?

It ate fish, just like many other pterosaurs that lived near the sea. Its sharp teeth and long snout helped it catch them.1

?When did Coloborhynchus live?

It lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, about 140 to 94 million years ago.1

?Why is it called Coloborhynchus?

Its name means 'maimed beak' because the first fossil found was a damaged snout. The name was given by Richard Owen in 1874.1

迷思破解王

迷思： Coloborhynchus was the largest flying animal ever.

真相： It was once thought to be the largest toothed pterosaur, but a close relative called Tropeognathus is now believed to have had a bigger wingspan.1

發現: Richard Owen named Coloborhynchus in 1874 based on a partial snout from East Sussex, England. The fossil was damaged, so Owen called it 'maimed beak'.1 4
仍有爭議: Scientists are still debating which species belong to Coloborhynchus and which should be placed in other genera like Nicorhynchus or Uktenadactylus.2
