like the wings of bats, were made of thin, leathery skin stretched across slender bones. Of all, the dinosaurs, pterosaurs were the only ones that could fly.
When pterosaurs died, some of them fell into lakes, marshes, or seas where their bodies were covered by layers of mud and earth. Slowly, over thousands of years, the earth around the bones and the space inside them filled with
minerals and became hard, or fossilized. Scientists can now tell what pterosaurs looked like by examining these preserved skeletons. Because scientists can determine the age rocks in which fossils are found, they know when
