1 x 1 Unze (oz) Copper Round Private Mint "Ice Age - Pteranodon"

Pteranodon is a notable genus of large, toothless pterosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 90 to 80 million years ago. While often associated with dinosaurs, Pteranodon is distinct from them, sharing a common ancestor but belonging to a separate group of flying reptiles. The two recognized species, P. longiceps and P. sternbergi, could reach impressive wingspans of over 8 meters (26 feet) and are characterized by their elongated, toothless jaws and differing head crests used likely for display purposes. Fossils of Pteranodon have primarily been found in the United States, particularly in regions that once formed part of the Western Interior Sea.

Pteranodon is classified within the Ornithocheiroidea clade, and its anatomy reflects adaptations for flight, including hollow bones that reduced weight. Their diet mainly consisted of marine life, likely caught by skimming or diving from the surface, though their exact feeding behavior remains a topic of debate among paleontologists. Evidence suggests that Pteranodon may have exhibited parental care, with hatchlings needing support before they could fly. This genus has significantly contributed to our understanding of pterosaur evolution and behavior, illustrating the complexity of life during the Late Cretaceous.
