An article published in the journal “Nature Ecology and Evolution” describes the discovery of a pterosaur that lived in today’s Utah about 210 million years ago. Named Caelestiventus hanseni, it was studied by a team of researchers thanks to a CT-scan that allowed to create a 3D model of the only specimen in the sandstone of the formation in which it was found. It’s one of the oldest known pterosaurs and this will allow to better understand the origin and evolution of that group of reptiles.
