“The chrosusia is an arrangement of extinct flight reptiles that were once living among the dinosaurs at the timing of the media, with a fossil record that extends from the late Trias until the end of the Cretaceous era,” said the excavation scientist at the University of Shuhazi Shoyanio Chu and Kuliguz.
“Traditionally, there were two main groups of boats.”
“The first includes early members, who generally have long tails and five long fingers (traditionally known as the sub -RHAMPHORYNCOIDEA, which has been canceled now).”
“The second is PterodactylideaThe largest tail group is very low, and the meacharpals is relatively long, and the fifth or absent toes. “
Garudapterus Buffetauti It belongs to GnathosaurinaeThe sub -category of crawling within the Pterodactylidea collection.
The new species have been living in what is now known in Thailand during the early Cretaceous period, 130 million years ago.
The remains of flying reptile reptiles were found in the PHR PRONG area in the southern region of the Mountain Phankain Dong Rak series in SA Kaeo County in Thailand.
Holotype style Garudapterus Buffetauti – The first crawling cranial material in Thailand consists of a partial platform and five incomplete teeth from one individual.
The excavation scientists said: “The front end of the platform is flat and side expansion (in the form of a spoon), which indicates a convergence to Gnathosaurinae.”
“The boundaries of the vesicles are clearly and similar to collar, and the bench shows a pair of pocket grooves.”
“These features carry a strong similarity with the late Gnathosaurines Gnathosaurus Subulausand Tacuadactylus LuciaeAnd Lusographhus almadrava“
The evolutionary analysis of the team indicates this Garudapterus Buffetauti It is closely related to this gnathosaurines.
The researchers said: “However, the Thai Gnathosaurine is unique in the expansion of a platform in the form of a kite and is recognized as a new type,” the researchers said.
“This new sample provides basic information related to Tarsur, including updated data for a better understanding of its diversity and distribution throughout Southeast Asia.”
team paper It was published this month in the magazine Chalk Research.
