Peteinosaurus (/pɛˌtaɪnəˈsɔːrəs/peh-TY-nə-SOR-əs;[1] meaning "winged lizard") was a prehistoric genus of pterosaur. It lived in the late Triassic period in the late Norian age (about 218-215 million years ago),[2] and at a wingspan of around 60 cm (24 in), was one of the smallest and earliest pterosaurs,[3] although other estimates suggest a wingspan of up to 1 m (3.3 ft).[4]
