  • Scientists discovered a new flying reptile species, Bakiribu waridza, from a 100-million-year-old fossilised regurgitate (dinosaur vomit).
  • The fossil was found in the Araripe Basin of Brazil, a major Cretaceous fossil site.
  • It is the first extinct species described entirely from fossilised regurgitated material (regurgitalite).
  • The remains likely came from a predator such as a Spinosaurid dinosaur.
  • The pterosaur had hundreds of thin teeth used for filter-feeding, similar to modern flamingos.
