Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cast of a skull of a Pterodaustro guinazui, a kind of pterosaur. On display as part of the exhibit "Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs" at the Cleveland Natural History Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

This creature's lower jaw was full of cartilage filaments, which were used to filter small animals out of water (similar to the way a whale filters water for planton). Some of them were preserved with this skull.

This animal lived about 100 million years ago. This fossil was found in the Lagarcito formation near San Luis, Argentina. This is a cast; the original fossil is held by the Museum of Natural History at the National University of San Luis.
