Pterosaur Tapejara on a Fern Hill
The Tapejara rests atop a rock surrounded by sprawling giant fern leaves on an elevated hill. Its head crest stands out as a defining feature of this flying reptile from the Early Cretaceous period.
Discovering the Tapejara
Tapejara was a genus of pterosaur known for its unusually large head crest, which was likely used for display or species recognition. These flying reptiles inhabited coastal environments near shallow lagoons where lush vegetation thrived. Ancient ferns like the ones growing around its resting spot were very common plant species during the Cretaceous period.
