    Ramphorynchus (Rhamphorhynchus) Rhamphorhynchus /ˌræmfəˈrɪŋkəs/, "beak snout", is a genus of long-tailed pterosaurs in the Jurassic period. Less specialized than contemporary, short-tailed pterodactyloid pterosaurs such as Pterodactylus, it had a long tail, stiffened with ligaments, which ended in a characteristic diamond-shaped vane. The jaws of Rhamphorhynchus housed needle-like teeth, which were angled forward, with a curved, sharp, beak-like tip lacking teeth, indicating a diet mainly of fish and insects. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhamphorhynchus
