资源简介：
Liaodactylus primus is the earliest filter-feeding pterosaur, discovered from the Late Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation in Jianchang County, Liaoning Province of China, dated to about 160 Million years ago (161.8±0.4 – 159.5±0.6 Ma). The discovery of Liaodactylus primus documents a specialized feeding strategy among pterosaurs in the Mesozoic Yanliao Biota in Northern China, which contributes to understanding ecological diversity in reptiles of the biota. Here we provide a dataset of the holotype of Liaodactylus primus (PMOL-AP00031) from X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray CT), including original CT slice images, reconstructed three-dimensional CT models of the mandibles, animated videos, and morphological character matrix for phylogenetic analysis. Data from CT scanning the skull of Liaodactylus primus will contribute to further studies of pterosaurs regarding their morphology, ecology, and phylogeny. Three-dimensional virtual models of the mandible of Liaodactylus primus can be 3D printed, with broad applications in research, teaching, and public outreach.
