Pterodactylus was first described as a sea creature by Cosimo Alessandro Collini in 1784, so the fossil was discovered before that. However, it wasn't until 1800 that Johann Hermann determined that Pterodactylus was a flying creature, although he believed it was a mammal. Georges Cuvier agreed with Hermann, except that Cuvier believed it was a flying reptile.
