October unleashed. Peteinosaurus

  Although easily one of the oldest known pterosaurs, Peteinosaurus has not been well preserved. Still, Peteinosaurus does display features that are similar to Preondactylus, to the extent that the suggestion has been put forward that the two genera are actually one and the same genus, just at different life stages. If this is ever confirmed then Preondactylus will be absorbed into Peteinosaurus as a junior synonym.
       Still, Peteinosaurus has possibly the shortest wings of any pterosaur that appear to be only twice as long as the hind legs. The teeth of Peteinosaurus are small and conical and its presumed that Peteinosaurus would have hunted for insects.
