Summary

Description
English: Photograph of specimen WDC CSG 255, the pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus with remains of a small fish (?Leptolepides) in its pharynx, trapped in the jaws of the large fish Aspidorhynchus (from Frey & Tischlinger, 2012, for details see source data below).

Original figure caption: Fossilized hunting scene;
A) specimen WDC CSG 255: an Aspidorhynchus and a Rhamphorhynchus in fatal encounter,
B) section of the specimen showing the way both animals are entangled.
C) A similar section under UV light, the arrow marks intestinal contents consisting of digested fish remains.
Note that the jaws of the Aspidorhynchus did not get hold of a bone, but apparently of the flight membrane of the left wing. The distorted left wing finger is suggestive for this.
