Cockroaches
Jurassic/Cretaceous


Cockroaches existed before pterosaurs and dinosaurs. The first fossils of modern cockroaches appeared in the Early Cretaceous period. Point Value: 2 Ptero Tidbit: When scientists find a small pterosaur they try to determine whether it was a juvenile or an adult member of a small species of pterosaur.

Ammonite
Cretaceous



Waterscorpion
Jurassic


Waterscorpions are insects, but are not closely related to true scorpions. Point Value: 3 Ptero Tidbit: The earliest pterosaurs we know about were roughly the size of a seagull.

Dragonfly
Jurassic/Cretaceous


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.

Lycoptera
Jurassic/Cretaceous


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.

Gingko
Cretaceous


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.
