A new pterosaur

The fossil record for Australian pterosaurs is limited, with less than 20 known specimens found so far. Excitingly in 2019, a new species was described - Ferrodraco lentoni (meaning “iron dragon”). Paleontologist Adele Pentland joins Extinct to discuss her work on “Butch”, the most complete Australian pterosaur found to date.
