Pterosaurs were flying reptiles with wingspans ranging from 25 cm to 12 meters, and they lived together in large colonies.
The discovery represents a new genus and species known as ‘Hamipterus tianshanensis’.
The fossils were found during a study conducted by a team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who have been excavating the fossil-rich region for the past 10 years.
