Crested Tapejara in a Desert Landscape
A Tapejara characterized by a large fan-shaped head crest perches atop a desert rock. Growing beside the stone is a hardy cycad, creating a dry prehistoric habitat scene.
Distinctive Features of the Tapejara
Tapejara lived during the Early Cretaceous period and possessed a dramatic head crest made partly of bone and soft tissue. Researchers believe this large fan structure acted as a visual signal to communicate with other members of its species across open landscapes.
