The dinosaur - part of the pterosaur family - was discovered by a research team from the University of Portsmouth who were looking at a fossil.

 

The fossil was found by accident, whist the team were looking at crocodile bones in a quarry.

 

Lots of flying dinosaurs have been found in limestone in Germany's Bavaria region in the past - the quarries are famous for Jurassic discoveries.

 

The dinosaur that was found has been named the Balaenognathus maeseri.

...

As well as its huge name, it also had a huge amount of teeth! This dinosaur had over 400 thin, sharp teeth.

 

"The jaws of this pterosaur are really long and lined with small, fine, hooked teeth, with tiny spaces between them like a nit comb" said Professor David Martill, who has been leading the research.
