Palaeontology.

A genus of rhamphorhynchoid pterosaurs of the Jurassic period, characterized by a pointed beak with forward-pointing teeth, and a tail that typically had a diamond-shaped vane at the tip; (also rhamphorhynchus) a pterosaur of this genus.Rhamphorhynchus is believed to have fed by snatching fish from the water surface in the manner of a skimmer (bird).
