Pterodactyls: Flying Reptiles of the Mesozoic Era

Pterodactyls are a group of flying reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic era, which lasted from about 252 million to 66 million years ago. They were characterized by their wings, which were formed from a thin membrane of skin and other tissues supported by long fingers. Pterodactyls were not dinosaurs, but rather a separate group of reptiles that evolved alongside them.

The term "pterodactylian" is an adjective used to describe things related to pterodactyls or their characteristics. For example, a pterodactylian wing might refer to the wing of a pterodactyl or any other object that resembles a pterodactyl's wing. The term is often used in scientific contexts to describe fossilized remains of pterodactyls or their wings.
