An international research team led by Curtin University has made significant discoveries regarding the preservation of a pterosaur wing, which has remained intact for 113 million years.

This remarkable find offers a unique perspective on the ecosystems that existed during the time of these ancient flying reptiles, potentially altering our understanding of fossil preservation.

The study highlights the importance of such discoveries in piecing together the history of life on Earth and the conditions that allowed for such extraordinary fossilization.
