  • Ornithocheirus was a huge pterosaur that grew up to 10 metres in length.
  • The Ornithocheirus is a true animal that went extinct a long time ago. It was first seen in The Kur Stone:Part Two.
  • Ornithocheirus was a huge pterosaur from the early Cretaceous (135-100 MYA) South American deposits.
  • It lived in many places around the globe including Brazil and England. It was large but not as large as Quetzalcoatlus, which is the largest identified to this day, being the size of a giraffe. It probably fed on fish and crustaceans on its migrations around the world, there is possible evidence of these migrations because they are found in many places around the world.
  • Several species have been referred to the genus, most of which are now considered as dubious species, or members of different genera, and the genus is now often considered to include only the type species, Ornithocheirus simus. Species have been referred to Ornithocheirus from the mid-Cretaceous period of both Europe and South America, but O. simus is known only from the UK. Because O. simus was originally named based on poorly preserved fossil material, the genus Ornithocheirus has suffered enduring problems of zoological nomenclature.

abstract
  • Ornithocheirus was a huge pterosaur that grew up to 10 metres in length.
  • Several species have been referred to the genus, most of which are now considered as dubious species, or members of different genera, and the genus is now often considered to include only the type species, Ornithocheirus simus. Species have been referred to Ornithocheirus from the mid-Cretaceous period of both Europe and South America, but O. simus is known only from the UK. Because O. simus was originally named based on poorly preserved fossil material, the genus Ornithocheirus has suffered enduring problems of zoological nomenclature. Fossil remains of Ornithocheirus have been recovered mainly from the Cambridge Greensand of England, dating to the beginning of the Albian stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 110 million years ago.[1] Additional fossils from the Santana Formation of Brazil, dating to 112-108 million years ago, are sometimes classified as species of Ornithocheirus,[2] but have also been placed in their own genera, most notably Tropeognathus.
