名字的意思： “Iberian finger”1

吃：魚飛行爬蟲類白堊紀早期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Iberodactylus was a flying reptile that lived about 125 million years ago. It had a big crest on its snout and sharp teeth for catching fish. It was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur that soared over the coast of what is now Spain.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

Iberodactylus is known from only one fossil: a partial snout with a crest and six pairs of tooth sockets.1

Its closest relative is Hamipterus from China, which is surprising because they lived so far apart.1

The crest on its snout was blade-like and covered with curved grooves and ridges.1

Scientists think the fossil might be from a male because male Hamipterus had bigger crests than females.1

Iberodactylus lived in a coastal environment, alongside marine reptiles like plesiosaurs and many fish.1

The fossil was found in a limestone layer that was once the bottom of a shallow sea.1
