    I Know Paleo Episode 41: Rhamphorhynchus

    Rhamphorhynchus, a pterosaur that ate fish with a mouth full of gnarly teeth. There are beautifully fossilized examples rivaling Archaeopteryx (they are both found in the same Solnhofen limestone in Bavaria, Germany). Rhamphorynchus almost certainly ate fish given the fish found in its gut contents and its anatomical similarities to other fish-eaters. Summary of pterosaur diet interpretations from 126 pterosaur studies https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12431 Rhamphorrhynchus in all of its glory! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rhamphorhynchus_munsteri.jpg Recent pterosaur family tree from https://doi.org/10.26879/20 Fun Fact: There is at least one pterosaur that was largely herbivorous—the Sinopterus atavismus (a tapejarid).
