A team of palaeontologists has made a remarkable discovery in the heart of Oxfordshire, UK: the fossilised remains of an enormous flying reptile from the Jurassic period. With an estimated wingspan exceeding three meters, this pterosaur ranks among the largest ever found from that era.
The fossil was excavated from a gravel pit near Abingdon-on-Thames and includes a well-preserved section of the pterosaur’s wing bone, which had broken into three pieces. Experts from the universities of Portsmouth and Leicester meticulously studied the specimen, revealing fascinating details about its anatomy and significance.
