Rhamphorhynchus Flying Over Ferns
The prehistoric reptile stretches its neck forward as it passes the vegetation, showing a long pointed beak and an equally striking tail. Its wings are lifted and spread, with visible membrane structure along their lower portions. Fern leaves occupy the right side and lower edge of the scene.
A Tail Built for Flight
Rhamphorhynchus had a long, stiff tail ending in a diamond-shaped vane. Scientists think this structure helped stabilize or steer the animal in the air. Fossils also show long jaws with teeth suited to grasping slippery prey.
