吃：魚飛行爬蟲類侏羅紀晚期到白堊紀早期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Nesodactylus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived during the Late Jurassic. It had long wings and strong legs, and it probably flew over the sea catching fish to eat.1 3

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

Nesodactylus lived about 156 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic.1

Its fossils were collected in 1918 by Barnum Brown, but they were not prepared until 1966, when Richard Lund dissolved the rock in acid to reveal the bones.1

The name Nesodactylus means 'island finger', because it was found on the island of Cuba and pterosaurs have a long wing finger.1

Nesodactylus had longer wings and more robust limbs than its relative Rhamphorhynchus, though it was about the same size.1

It belonged to the group Rhamphorhynchidae, which were pterosaurs with long tails.1 3

The only known skeleton is a partial one, including parts of the skull, spine, wings, legs, and a deeply keeled breastbone.1

給恐龍專家

學名: Nesodactylus
命名者: Colbert 19693
類群: 飛行爬蟲類
科 / 演化支: Rhamphorhynchidae3
分類: Pterosauria > Rhamphorhynchidae3
岩石的年代: 162 到 143 百萬年 (Oxfordian / Tithonian)3
岩層: Jagua3
國家: 古巴3
化石紀錄: The Paleobiology Database 收錄 2 筆3
發現: Nesodactylus was named by Edwin H. Colbert in 1969, based on a partial skeleton collected by Barnum Brown in 1918 from the Jagua Formation in Cuba.1 3
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure whether Nesodactylus was a rhamphorhynchine or a more basal rhamphorhynchid, because the fossils are incomplete.1
