In 2021, Koronoaurus Korner Museum curator Kevin Petersen in Western Queensland, Australia. giant dinosaur bones he had discovered. Continuing their research into these bones, researchers from Curtin University revealed that these bones belonged to a pterosaur of the Haliskia peterseni type.

Haliskia peterseni, approx 100 million years ago It attracts attention as a living but newly discovered species. These powerful flying reptiles, which soared through the air during the early Cretaceous period, are known as a newly discovered species of anhanguerian pterosaur.

It was once an inland sea area

At the time, mid-west Queensland was covered by a large inland sea. PhD student at the Curtin School of Earth and Planetary Sciences Adele Pentlandin his statement “With a wingspan of about 4.6 meters, Haliskia would have been a fearsome predator 100 million years ago.” he said.

Among the ruins found upper jaw bones, curved teeth, a species-specific shoulder bone for example It’s laying down. Members of this species are found in Brazil, England, Morocco, China, Spain and the USA. Petersen’s meticulous work on the remains provided an invaluable example for scientific research. Pentland, in his statement “Mr Petersen’s painstaking preparation has yielded the most complete remains of anhaguerians and any pterosaurs yet discovered in Australia.” he said.
