Depicted Animal

Rhamphorhynchus muensteri  (GOLDFUSS, 1831)
1.5 M    150 MYA   

Systematics: Rhamphorhynchidae, Pterosauria, Ornithodira, Archosauria, Diapsida, Reptilia
Habitat: coastal, lagoonal; volant

A piscivore pterosaur from the Late Jurassic of southern Germany. The genus Rhampho­rhynchus is the most frequent, long-tailed representative of this important clade of skilfully active flying reptiles. The long-tailed pterosaurs had a short neck and, compared to the wing-span, a small body. The vertebral tail was stiffened by rod-like ossified tendons and provided with a rhomboid membrane at the end which was used as a rudder while flying.
