OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sharovipteryx ( Sharov's wing , known until 1981 as Podopteryx, foot wing ), was an early gliding reptile, from the middle-late Triassic period (230-225 million years ago). Fossils have been found from the Madygen Formation of Kyrgyzstan along with the unusual reptile Longisquama. It was approximately eight inches (20 cm) long, with an extremely long tail, and weighed about 7.5 grams. It may have been closely related - or perhaps even ancestral - to pterosaurs, although this remains controversial. Unlike pterosaurs, its main flight membrane was stretched between long back legs rather than its very short front limbs.
