Dsungaripterus

Notable for its large, elongated skull and unusual curved jaw, Dsungaripterus is a genus of pterosaur that lived around 130 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period. Dsungaripterus’ jaw narrows to a point and contains no teeth at the front, with a row of flat teeth at the back for piercing the armour of shellfish.
