The Pterosauria order was divided into two suborders. The first was the Rhamphorhynchoidea, which had teeth and long tails, and didn't have bony crests. The second was the Pterodactyloidea, and they had very short tails, many types were toothless, and many types did have elaborate bony crests. The Pterodactyloidea evolved from the Rhamphorhynchoidea during the Jurassic, so technically most scientists consider Pterodactyloidea to be a subgroup of Rhamphorhynchoidea.

Are pterosaurs dinosaurs?

Pterosaurs are sometimes referred to in the popular media as dinosaurs, but this is incorrect.

What is the pterodactyl evolution?

Pterodactylus was a pterosaur, and pterosaurs were archosaurs. All pterosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago. Other types of archosaurs include crocodillians, the dinosaurs, and the birds, which evolved from dinosaurs. The pterosaurs were more closely related to the dinosaurs than they were to crocodillians, so the closest living relatives of pterosaurs are the birds. All birds are equally related to pterosaurs.


Are pterosaurs related to dinosaurs?

Yes. Dinosaurs and pterosaurs were both archosaurs, a branch that also include crocodilians.
