Pterosauria (medicine)


pterosauria
<paleontology> An extinct order of flying reptiles of the Mesozoic age; the pterodactyls.

Synonym: Pterodactyli, and Ornithosauria.

The wings were formed, like those of bats, by a leathery expansion of the skin, principally supported by the greatly enlarged outer or " little" fingers of the hands. The American Cretaceous pterodactyls had no teeth.

See: Pteranodontia, and Pterodactyl.
