Scientists Uncover First Fossilized Pterosaur from Vomit, Shedding New Light on Ancient Creatures.

About 110 million years ago, a dinosaur apparently swallowed two pterosaurs and four fish before excreting them. But despite being found in Brazil, the fossil was initially misidentified as just a blob of fish remains. It wasn't until paleontologist Aline Ghilardi took a closer look that her team realized it was something much more extraordinary.

The fossil contained the remains of an entirely new pterosaur, which has been named Bakiribu waridza. This ancient creature had distinctive features not seen in any other known pterosaur, and its discovery marks a significant breakthrough for paleontology. The discovery also shed new light on the evolutionary trajectory of filter-feeding pterosaurs.

Bakiribu waridza's jaws were densely populated with long, slender teeth, similar to modern flamingos. This finding provides valuable insights into the feeding habits of these ancient creatures. However, despite extensive research, the researchers are still unsure who threw up Bakiribu waridza in the first place.

The discovery highlights how paleontology can uncover new information about previously excavated fossils through modern methods and techniques. Ghilardi's team has also demonstrated that, even after decades of being stored away, fossils can be rediscovered with fresh eyes, revealing hidden secrets about our ancient past.

For Ghilardi, this moment is a reminder why paleontology feels magical – extraordinary discoveries can lie waiting in the wings, ready to reveal themselves at any moment.
 
🦖💩😂🔥🎉👀 Bakiribu waridza - the pterosaur that went down with the fishes 🐟😷! Who knew dinosaurs could throw up ancient creatures? 😂🤣 Paleontology: where you can find a fossil in your lunch...literally! 👅💦
 
I'm literally speechless 🤯! I mean, who knew dinosaurs could be like, vomit machines? This fossil finding is insane ! The fact that scientists got to see an entire new species of pterosaur just lying there in the poop is mind-blowing . It's like something out of a movie 🎥. And can you even imagine being the one to rediscover it all those years later? I would lose my cool 😲! The more I think about it, the more I'm like... what other secrets are hiding in plain sight? 🤔
 
OMG 😍 that's like totally amazing!!! I'm so stoked for Aline Ghilardi and her team! Discovering a new species of pterosaur from, get this, someone's vomit is just the coolest thing ever! 🤯 The fact that it was initially misidentified as just fish remains is wild! And can you believe those jaws with long, slender teeth? Like, flamingos?! 🦩🌊 This finding is giving me all the feels - I'm so hyped for more discoveries like this! 💥 The fact that they're still unsure who threw up Bakiribu waridza is just part of the magic, right? 😂
 
😊 I mean, can you even imagine having a fossil from another species just chillin' inside your belly? Like, what's the story behind Bakiribu waridza getting swallowed whole by some dinosaur? 🤯 And then it ends up in Brazil and nobody knows its name for ages... it's wild how scientists were able to uncover this hidden gem with modern methods. It's actually kinda magical how paleontology can bring back new info from old fossils, like a puzzle finally coming together. The details about its teeth are super interesting too - who knew flamingos had an ancestor in pterosaurs? 😄
 
Just think what else is stuck in those ancient tummies 😂💀! Bakiribu waridza's teeth are straight out of a bird-of-prey movie 🕊️🦅. Feeding habits of pterosaurs? Now we know where they got their flamingo vibes 🔥.
 
🤯 I mean, can you believe that someone actually vomited up a pterosaur 110 million years ago? 🤢 It's wild to think about all the crazy stuff that goes through an ancient creature's digestive system... and who knows what else got digested alongside those two pterosaurs. 😂 On a more serious note, this discovery is super cool! The fact that Bakiribu waridza has these unique features like long, slender teeth is fascinating. I guess you could say it's a real "gut feeling" (get it? 🤣) that scientists are still learning new things about our ancient friends... even after all these years. 🦖
 
This fossil discovery is mind-blowing! I mean, who knew dinosaurs could even swallow pterosaurs? 🤯 It's like they were having a prehistoric game of "dodge the poop"! But seriously, it's amazing how scientists are able to uncover new info about ancient creatures using modern methods. The fact that this fossil was initially misidentified as just fish remains is crazy – I can imagine paleontologists scratching their heads, thinking "what's going on here?!" 😂

And can you believe the name Bakiribu waridza? It sounds like something from a fantasy novel! 😄 But what I love most about this discovery is that it highlights how paleontology is always evolving (no pun intended). New techniques and fresh eyes can totally change our understanding of the past. It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of treasure, you find out new secrets about the ancient world! 🏴
 
🤯 I mean, who knew pterosaurs could end up in someone's vomit? 🚽 It's crazy to think about these ancient creatures flying around 110 million years ago and then getting, ahem, digested by a dinosaur! 😂 Anyway, this discovery is super cool and sheds some new light on filter-feeding pterosaurs. Those long, slender teeth are pretty fascinating - I can see why they'd be similar to modern flamingos' beaks. 🐦 It's amazing how much we can learn from fossils that were previously overlooked or misidentified. Fresh eyes (or in this case, Aline Ghilardi's expertise 😉) can make all the difference! 👀
 
I'm low-key obsessed with this discovery lol! Can you imagine finding out that some ancient creature vomited up a pterosaur? It's like something out of a sci-fi movie 🤯 I mean, we're still trying to figure out who threw up Bakiribu waridza in the first place, it's crazy. But for real though, this discovery is giving me all the feels 🌟 The fact that paleontology can uncover new info about old fossils through modern methods is just wild. It's like, our understanding of the ancient world is constantly evolving, and I'm here for it 🤓
 
omg did u guys no pterosaurs were filter feeders 2 🤯 bakiribu waridza's teeth are literally like flamingos' 🦅 they must've been drinking from rivers or lakes & filtering out all the good stuff 😂 it's wild that we didn't know about this until now! paleo is literally like magic, i'm obsessed 🧙‍♀️
 
🤯 I'm kinda surprised they found Bakiribu waridza in a fossilized vomit... like, how likely is that? 🤔 But at the same time, it's actually kinda awesome that scientists were able to spot something so unique and new again after all these years. They've been doing some crazy stuff with their microscope and whatnot... I mean, who knew pterosaurs could be found in, you know, garbage? 💩 Still, can't help but wonder about the whole "who threw up Bakiribu waridza" thing... was it a dinosaur eating dinner or something? 🤪
 
this sounds crazy lol 🤯 i mean, who knows what came out of a dinosaur's stomach? but seriously, it's amazing that they finally figured out it was a new pterosaur species! bakiribu waridza sounds like an awesome name and all those teeth on its jaws are wild. i can see why this discovery is making waves in the paleontology world 🌊 it's just so cool to think about these ancient creatures and how we're still learning more about them. i guess you never know what hidden gems (or fossils) might be hiding in plain sight 😄
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one 🤯. Like, who knew pterosaurs could be found in someone's vomit? It's wild that it took a closer look by Aline Ghilardi and her team to realize what they had stumbled upon. I mean, the fact that Bakiribu waridza has these super-long teeth like flamingos is just crazy! 🦅

And I love how this discovery is shedding new light on filter-feeding pterosaurs. It's amazing how much we can learn from fossils and even from something as gross as someone's vomit 😷. Ghilardi's team is literally re-discovering hidden secrets about our ancient past, and that's just, like, mind-blowing.

I do wonder who actually threw up the Bakiribu waridza in the first place though... did some giant pterosaur have a weird eating disorder or something? 🤣
 
omg 🤯 i'm literally so fascinated by this news!!! i was reading about it in my science textbook and then i stumbled upon this article online... i mean who knew that a dinosaur's vomit could hold a secret to understanding ancient creatures? 😂 the fact that it took paleontologist Aline Ghilardi's team years to realize the true significance of the fossil is wild. and can you even imagine having to dig through all that fish remains just to find out what was actually there? 🤪

i feel like this discovery shows how important it is to keep exploring and learning about our planet's history, especially when it comes to creatures we thought we knew everything about... or at least, thought were extinct 😅. i wish my school had more science-focused expeditions like this – wouldn't that be lit?! 🔥
 
I mean, think about it, 110 million years ago, life on Earth was already so complex and diverse, and yet we were still learning about these creatures like Bakiribu waridza... 🤯 It's crazy to imagine what our world would be like if we'd known this about the ancient world back then. Like, how would our perception of time and evolution change? And what does it say about us as a species that we're still discovering new things even after all these years? The fact that we thought those fish remains were just that, without considering the possibility of something more... 🐲 It's like, there's so much we don't know, and yet we keep pushing forward.
 
wow 110 million yrs old pterosaur fossil find is so cool ! i mean, who would've thought something like that was just thrown up by some dino ? it's wild how scientists were able to figure out what this thing actually was after all these years . and the fact that it has flamingo-like teeth is just crazy , i need to see some pics of this thing ASAP . can you imagine what other secrets fossils might be hiding from us ?
