Flying Dinosaur Names Beginning With The Letter X
Welcome to the loneliest page on our website. Even our Dinosaur A to Z list has more dinosaurs for the letter X than the flying dinosaurs pages! Here, so far at least, there is just one dinosaur That starts with the letter X, and we try to show it a little love here.
It was a cool pterosaur (flying dinosaur) so maybe if any Paleontologists stumble across this page and they have an unnamed Flying dinosaur – pterosaur fossil – they could give this Little fella some company!

Xericeps
Name meaning: Dry Catch
Xericeps, was a pterosaur with a cool name. It means Dry catch and is from the area it was found ( the Sahara Desert and the Latin for catch because of its thin beak / mouth – So a dry catch indeed!)
It was a medium sized flying dinosaur / pterosaur and although not certain it is thought that its wing span was likely 3-4 metres ( 10 to 13 feet) and it was toothless.
As the fossils are limited there is not a great deal known about its eating habits, but the occasional fish as well as smaller animals would have certainly been on the menu!
