Over the head of Tyrannosaurus rex glides the skeleton of Pteranodon, a pterosaur or flying reptile. |
|
Now a newly described fossil of a flying reptile called a pterosaur has been found to have a spinosaur tooth stuck in its spine. |
|
A pterosaur is a flying reptile from the Mesozoic period, the time of the dinosaurs. |
|
When the pterosaur was not in flight, the finger and membrane were extended rearward along the flanks. |
|
The egg seems designed for burial rather than for the nurturing embrace of a mother pterosaur. |
|
Other spinosaurids have been found with partially digested fish scales and the bones of other dinosaurs in their stomach regions, and spinosaurid teeth have been found embedded in pterosaur bones. |
|
Holotype fossils have been discovered here of Yaverlandia and a pterosaur, Caulkicephalus. |
|
Other important discoveries of ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and a pterosaur followed, as well as invertebrates such as cephalopods and their ink sacs. |
|
Pteranodon was not a Dinosaur, but an extinct kind of flying reptile, or Pterosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous, from 90 to 65 million years ago. |
|
On display are a Sauropod, Protoceratop, Ornithopod, Pterosaur and the Tyrannosaurus-Rex. |
