This remarkable reptile was well adapted for fishing with its 30-foot wingspan, long toothless jaw and streamlined skull ideal for diving into the water. Its triangular skull crest pointed backwards and its wings were formed by skin stretched over elongated fingers. The name pteranodon means “wings no teeth.”

All about Pteranodon Skull Key Chain
Pteranodon flew over the seas 70 to 65 million years ago. This remarkable reptile was well adapted for fishing with its 30-foot wingspan, long toothless jaw and streamlined skull ideal for diving into the water. Pteranodon means “wings no teeth.” Since pteranodon bones were light, they did not fossilize easily. So, its fossils are rare.
Pteranodon was not a dinosaur, rather it was a type of pterosaur, the fantastic flying reptiles that lived alongside the dinosaurs for over 100 million years. Along with most dinosaurs, pterosaurs went extinct when an asteroid crashed into Earth. The survivors included dinosaurs that evolved into modern birds. Surprisingly, birds did not arise from pterosaurs.
