Aspidorhynchus was a speedy, two-foot-long fish, with tooth-lined, elongated jaws. Point Value: 2 Ptero Tidbit: Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates (animals with backbones) to have powered flight.

The season has changed. Time to move!  PLAY on any level 3. EFFECT: Turn any level 3 card around and take control of it. Then discard this card.

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.

This pterosaur’s name comes from the Greek word “pteron” (wing) and the Latin word “auster” (south wind). It may have used its thousands of bristle-like teeth to strain crustaceans, plankton, and other small aquatic animals. Point Value: 4 Flight: 1.

Named after both the Aztec air god Quetzalcoatl and the Northrup Corporation, this Texan pterosaur had a wingspan of roughly 33 feet (the size of a 2-person airplane) and a height of 16-18 feet! Point Value: 7 Flight: 3. Special restriction: Must be played adjacent to two different level 2 cards.
