Anhanguera was a fish-eating animal with a wingspan of about 4.6 meters (15 ft). [3] Like many other anhanguerids, Anhanguera had rounded crests at front of its upper and lower jaws, which were filled with angled, conical but curved teeth of various sizes and orientations. Like many of its relatives, the jaws were tapered in width, but expanded ...
Anhangueridae is a group of pterosaurs within the suborder Pterodactyloidea. [2] They were among the last pterosaurs to possess teeth. A recent study discussing the group considered the Anhangueridae to be typified by a premaxillary crest and a lateral expansion in the distal rostrum.
Maaradactylus had one of the largest anhanguerid skulls from the Santana Group, and this indicated a wingspan estimate of about 6 meters (20 ft).This anhanguerid also has a relatively tall crest running along the midline of the premaxillary bones, which make up most of the upper beak region, and placements for 35 pairs of teeth in the upper jaws.
Tropeognathinae is defined as "the most inclusive clade containing Tropeognathus mesembrinus but not Coloborhynchus clavirostris or Anhanguera blittersdorffi." All tropeognathines have relatively short teeth, with the height of the crown under 3 times the diameter of the tooth, as well as premaxillary crests that reach the tip of the rostrum. [2]
Anhanguera Educacional (Portuguese pronunciation: [aɲɐ̃ˈɡwɛɾa] or [aɲɐ̃ˈɡwɛɾa edukasjoˈnaw]) is the second-largest private for-profit educational company in Brazil by number of students, with around 400,000 students in its education network.
However, whereas the rosettes of species typically assigned to Anhanguera were rounded and spoon-shaped, those of Coloborhynchus were robust and box-shaped. [ 6 ] Also like its close relatives, Coloborhynchus had a keel-shaped crest on the front of its jaws, though it was broad and thinned from base to top, rather than the uniformly thin crests ...
O. cuvieri and many other English pterosaurs were kept in the genus Ornithocheirus for most of the 20th century. [2] In 1987, the German palaeontologist Peter Wellnhofer described the new crested pterosaur Tropeognathus from the Santana Formation of Brazil and noted the similarities between it and other newly described Brazilian taxa such as Anhanguera to English taxa that were based on ...
Anhanguera fittoni? (Owen, 1859) Unwin, 2001 Lonchodectes (meaning " lance biter") was a genus of lonchodectid pterosaur from several formations dating to the Turonian ( Late Cretaceous ) of England , mostly in the area around Kent .
