 Eudimorphodon in History

Eudimorphodon is the oldest known pterosaur. It's head looks a little like Rhamphorhynchus, but the anatomy of the teeth is completely different. In the upper jaw are eight large catch teeth. Behind these are multiple rows of small jagged teeth which are interrupted by four large tear teeth. The lower jaw has four large catch teeth in front. Behind these are multiple rows of small jagged teeth as in the upper jaw. With an estimated jaw length of about 60mm, the Eudimorphodon has an estimated 114 teeth in total. This indicates that this pterosaur was a fish catcher.

Documented fossils from Cena in Italy appear to back up this theory from fossilized fishbone prints in the stomach area of Eudimorphodon fossils.

Our model requires two metal geared micro servos for the R/C installation when only elevons are used. Add one more if moveable tail is desired for rudder control.  The performance of this little model is surprisingly good.
