Master of the Jurassic Skies

Dimorphodon lived approximately 200-190 million years ago during the Early Jurassic Period along the coasts of what is now England. Despite its enormous head (which made up nearly a quarter of its body length!), Dimorphodon's skull was surprisingly lightweight with large air pockets. The name "two-form tooth" refers to its unique dental arrangement: large, pointed teeth at the front of the jaw for catching prey, and smaller teeth toward the back for gripping.

With a wingspan of about 4.5 feet, Dimorphodon was a relatively small pterosaur that likely hunted insects, small vertebrates, and fish along coastal cliffs. Recent fossil evidence suggests its body was covered in pycnofibres—primitive fuzzy structures similar to feathers—helping it maintain body temperature. The movable jaw feature lets young paleontologists experience the snapping bite of this aerial hunter!
