The scientists found a foundation that allegedly flew to the prehistoric reptiles that have been long extinct, aka pterosaur pterosaurs beach shore. Platform was located in a lagoon in southwest France and allegedly was used by the extinct animals from 140 million years ago. From the results indicate footprints tread marks pterosaur or pterodactyloid, prehistoric reptiles that had wings as wide as three feet or four feet. Flying reptiles such as using a nail penumpu then take gradual steps to land and assisted by a little jump with both feet, and ends with using the hand brake.One of Paleontology at the University of Berkeley, California, United States, said Kevin grains no other animal-shaped making tracks in the world pterosaurs foot when about to take off or landing.
In fact, continued grains, pterosaurs did have a great ability to fly, where he could control the beating of wings. Researchers are expected in the future are better able to uncover traces left by these flying reptiles, and can provide an explanation of how the prehistoric flying creature that has long extinct. "There are hundreds of footprints are visible in this hunt," he said as quoted by LiveScience grains, recently.
However, a rebuttal statement from an expert at the Institute of Fossil Animals and Study Center for Ancient Man in Beijing, China, David Hone. "Pterosaurs like birds in general, very light weight and do not always leave a trail when compared to a sauropod weighing 50 tons."
"If the trail can be traced from the pterosaurs, as well as seeing impressions in soft mud or sand. But pterosaurs discovered the landing track is an interesting thing," added Hone again. He also said that if the discovery of the researchers on the landing point pterosaurs very convincing.
