In an exciting discovery, geologist Dr. James Etienne unearthed a gigantic Jurassic pterosaur fossil in Oxfordshire, UK, within the Kimmeridge Clay Formation. This remarkable find, identified as an adult ctenochasmatoid pterosaur with an estimated wingspan of 3.75 meters, is among the largest known from the Jurassic period. The well-preserved wing bone, found alongside other marine reptile fossils, provides valuable insights into the evolution and diversity of pterosaurs. This discovery underscores the significance of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in understanding the Late Jurassic ecosystem and highlights the impressive size and diversity of pterosaurs during this era.
