$18,000. Haliskia peterseni is going into the book.
A museum curator in Queensland found it in 2021 and it was described in 2024. It's the most complete pterosaur skeleton ever found in Australia, more than twice as complete as the next best.
Next: $20,000, Eotephradactylus.

Before birds ruled the skies, pterosaurs did. A newly described Australian species — Haliskia peterseni — offers a fresh look at how these ancient reptiles once soared over the Early Cretaceous seas, revealing more about flight, evolution, and life in a vanished world.

A new paper has some input on the classification of Aussie pterosaurs. The authors suggest that Thapuungaka is an ornithocheirid, Aussiedraco is a targaryendraconid, Haliskia and Ferrodraco are closely related tropeognathines, and Mythunga is a nomen dubium.

Modern Australia is known for its array of wildlife: poisonous snakes and spiders, saltwater crocodiles, koalas, kangaroos, and more. The continent was also once home to dinosaurs, including the giant Australotitan and flying pterosaur Haliskia petersensi. Now, paleontologists have found remains of the world’s oldest known megaraptorid–aka the ‘mega raptor’–and the first evidence of a carcharodontosaurus in Australia.

Nieuwe pterosauriër ontdekt in Australië: 'Een vliegend monster'
In het noordoosten van Australi, in de staat Queensland, zijn botten van een nieuwe soort pterosaurir opgegraven. Dat blijkt uit wetenschappelijk onderzoek, gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Scientific Reports. De nieuwe soort heeft ook al een naam gekregen: Haliskia peterseni.ppEen pterosaurir was een vliegend reptiel tijdens dezelfde periode als de dinosaurirs. Dinosaurirs en pterosaurirs delen een voorouder, maar behoren niet tot dezelfde groep.ppDe geslachtsnaam Haliskia van de nieuwe pterosaurir komt uit het klassieke Grieks en beschrijft een vliegend wezen dat een schaduw op zee werpt. De soortnaam, peterseni, verwijst naar de ontdekker van de botten: Kevin Petersen, curator van het Kronosaurus Kornermuseum, ontdekte de botten in 2021.ph2Compleetste pterosaurirh2pVolgens onderzoekster Adele Pentland is het de compleetste pterosaurir die tot nu toe in Australi is gevonden. Het exemplaar heeft volledige onderkaken, een punt van een bovenkaak, 43 tanden en verder wervels, ribben, botten van beide vleugels en een deel van een poot, zegt ze in Scientific Reports. Ook zijn zeer dunne en delicate keelbeenderen aanwezig. Dat wijst op een gespierde tong, die maakte dat hij beter vissen en weekdieren kon eten.ppDe nieuwe soort had een spanwijdte van zon 4,6 meter. De Haliskia moet 100 miljoen jaar geleden een angstaanjagend monster zijn geweest, zegt Pentland.ph2Boost voor wetenschap en toerismeh2pDe botten van Haliskia peterseni zullen binnenkort te zien zijn in het Kronosaurus Kornermuseum. Volgens Petersen is de ontdekking een stimulans voor de wetenschap, het onderwijs en het regionale toerisme. Ik ben erg blij dat mijn ontdekking een nieuwe soort is, want mijn passie is het verbreiden van de kennis over prehistorische soorten.p
