科学家发现了50个隐藏的Pteodactylus化石,通过紫外线显示从孵化到成人的生长。 Scientists uncover 50 hidden Pterodactylus fossils, revealing growth from hatchling to adult with UV light.

莱斯特大学的科学家们通过使用紫外线光显示隐藏的骨骼细节,发现了近50个先前未查明的Pterodactylus标本。 Scientists at the University of Leicester have found nearly 50 previously unidentified Pterodactylus specimens by using UV light to reveal hidden bony details. 这一发现有助于重建1.5亿年的爬行动物的生命周期,从孵化到成年,翅膀长成十倍大。 This discovery helps reconstruct the life cycle of the 150-million-year-old flying reptile from hatchling to adult, with wingspans growing up to ten times larger. 该研究澄清了这些化石的真正特性,并增进了我们对巨龙发育的了解。 The study clarifies the true identity of these fossils and enhances our understanding of pterosaurs' development.
