Fossils of Tupandactylus date to the Early Cretaceous and have been found in north-eastern Brazil, South America.

Leon Made This
I’m Leon, a developer and a dad. When my daughter was three, dinosaur chases on television frightened her, so I made a 3D prehistoric animal museum where she could look quietly and listen only when she wanted to.
The museum is free, with no sign-up, adverts or visitor tracking. Finding one interesting detail at a time is plenty.
