Pteranodon
''Pteranodon'' (); from Ancient Greek (''pteron'', "wing") and (''anodon'', "toothless") is a genus of pterosaur that included some of the largest known flying reptiles, with ''P. longiceps'' having a wingspan of . They lived during the late Cretaceous geological period of North America in present-day Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota and Alabama. More fossil specimens of ''Pteranodon'' have been found than any other pterosaur, with about 1,200 specimens known to science, many of them well preserved with nearly complete skulls and articulated skeletons. It was an important part of the animal community in the Western Interior Seaway. ''Pteranodon'' was not a dinosaur. By definition, all dinosaurs belong to the group Dinosauria; ''Pteranodon'' belongs to the group Pterosauria. Nonetheless, ''Pteranodon'' is the most famous pterosaur, frequently featured in dinosaur media and strongly associated with dinosaurs by the general public. While not dinosaurs, pterosaurs such as ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pterodon (mammal)
''Pterodon'' ("winged tooth") is an extinct genus of superficially wolf-like hyainailurids from subtribe Pterodontina within polyphyletic tribe Hyainailourini in paraphyletic subfamily Hyainailourinae, that lived in late Eocene Europe. Classification and phylogeny Taxonomy ''Pterodon nyanzae'' is now considered to be synonymous with ''Hyainailouros''.Lewis, M. E., Morlo, M. (2010.): "Creodonta". – In : Werdelin, L., Sanders, W.

Pterodon (plant)
''Pterodon'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
