-Pterosaur: was a prehistoric flying reptile that ranged in size from a few inches to over 40 feet. Pterosaurs had hollow bones, were lightly built, and had small bodies. They had large brains and good eyesight. Some pterosaurs had fur on their bodies, and some (like Pteranadon) had light-weight, bony crests on their heads that may have acted as a rudder when flying, or may have been a sexual characteristic. Pterosaur wings were covered by a leathery membrane. This thin but tough membrane stretched between its body, the top of its legs and its elongated fourth fingers, forming the structure of the wing. Claws protruded from the other fingers. All our Pterosaur fossils were found in the "Taouz" region of the Sahara desert in Morocco, and they date back to the Cretaceous period (95- 115 million) |
