Dragonflies are among the fastest and most ancient flying insects in the world! Point Value: 2 Ptero Tidbit: Pterosaurs were neither birds nor bats. They were flying reptiles that lived between ~220 and ~66 million years ago.

Fossils of these small freshwater fish have been found in large groups suggesting they congregated in sandbars. Point Value: 2 Ptero Tidbit: Pterosaurs were the first animals after insects to evolve powered flight—not just leaping or gliding, but flapping their wings to generate lift and traveling long distances through the air.

The fan-shaped leaves of this ancient ginkgo tree, now, extinct, are similar to modern ginkgo leaves. Point Value: 1 Ptero Tidbit: When pterosaurs walked, they tucked in their wings. The fourth finger was connected to the hand by a roller joint, so the wings could fold like umbrella spokes.

Aeger Elegans is a species of shrimp that was found in the Solnhofen limestone of Germany.  Point Value: 1 Ptero Tidbit: Pterosaurs all had the same basic body plan, but different species could vary dramatically.

These coniferous trees lived all over the globe during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Point Value: 1 Ptero Tidbit: In the Jurassic Period a new group of pterosaurs emerged. They had shorter tails, longer hands and neck bones, and bony crests on top of their heads.

In Morocco, scientists found the tracks of a theropod (a type of carnivorous dinosaur) among those of pterosaurs. Did dinosaurs pose a threat to pterosaurs? Evidence is scarce, but some fossils suggest they did. PLAY on one pterosaur to remove it from the game and leave this card in its place.
