'Our hearts stopped': Scientists find baby pterosaurs died in violent Jurassic storm 150 million years ago

A violent Jurassic storm killed two baby pterosaurs 150 million years ago, with researchers discovering their remarkably preserved fossils in Germany. The tiny 8-inch wingspan creatures suffered wing fractures consistent with storm damage before drowning in a lagoon, unlike adult pterosaurs which could better resist powerful winds. Scientists believe these "Lucky" and "Lucky II" specimens reveal that many small pterosaur fossils found in the Solnhofen formation resulted from mass mortality events during storms.
