New Dinosaur Found 2016: Tiny Pterosaur Species Fossils Discovered By Paleontologists In Patagonia

Paleontologists have discovered a new species of pterosaur in South America.

A group of researchers discovered the new fossil belonging to the flying reptile from the Jurassic period, between 199.6 million years ago and 175.6 million years ago, in north central Chubut province in Patagonia, Argentina. The new pterosaur fossil, which was found with an intact braincase, gave them a new look into the reptile’s neuroanatomy. The discovery was featured in a new Peer J report published on Wednesday.
