名字的意思： “lance dragon”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

Lonchodraco was a flying reptile that lived in the time of dinosaurs. It had a long, pointed snout like a spear and a small crest under its chin. It soared over the seas of ancient England, hunting for fish.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。

趣味知識

Lonchodraco was first called Pterodactylus giganteus, meaning 'the gigantic one', even though it was not that big.1

Its name means 'lance dragon' because its snout was shaped like a lance or spear.1

Lonchodraco had a small blade-like crest under the front of its lower jaw.1

Its teeth were very close together, with about six tooth sockets every three centimetres along the jaw.1

Fossils of Lonchodraco were found in chalk pits near Maidstone, Kent, and in the Cambridge Greensand.1

Lonchodraco lived between about 112 and 90 million years ago, during the Early and Late Cretaceous.1

給恐龍專家

學名: Lonchodraco
命名者: Rodrigues and Kellner 20133
類群: 飛行爬蟲類
科 / 演化支: Lonchodraconidae3
分類: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
岩石的年代: 137 到 90 百萬年 (Valanginian / Turonian)3
岩層: Tunbridge Wells Sand3
國家: 英國3
化石紀錄: The Paleobiology Database 收錄 2 筆3
發現: James Scott Bowerbank named the first fossils in 1846 as Pterodactylus giganteus. In 2013, Taissa Rodrigues and Alexander Kellner gave it the new genus name Lonchodraco.1
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure if all three species assigned to Lonchodraco really belong together. Some researchers think Lonchodraco machaerorhynchus should be in a different genus called Ikrandraco.1
