Qinglongopterus

名字的意思： “wing from Qinglong”1

吃：魚飛行爬蟲類侏羅紀中期到侏羅紀晚期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Qinglongopterus was a small flying reptile that lived about 159 million years ago. It had a long tail and looked a lot like its cousin Rhamphorhynchus, but with a smaller head and shorter wings.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

Qinglongopterus is known from only one nearly complete skeleton, which was found in the Tiaojishan Formation in China.1 2

This pterosaur had a very short pteroid bone (a wrist bone that helps support the wing membrane) with a knob-like tip.2

Qinglongopterus lived about 10 million years before its close relative Rhamphorhynchus, but already had many of the same advanced features.1 2

The only known specimen was a late-stage juvenile, because its bones were not fully fused and its eye sockets were large.1

Scientists think Qinglongopterus and Rhamphorhynchus might be so similar that Rhamphorhynchus could have evolved directly from Qinglongopterus.1

The name Qinglongopterus means 'wing from Qinglong', after the county in China where it was found.1
