Ozimek volans - a "flying" dragon from Triassic Poland. This small reptile was one of the first vertebrates to attempt to conquer the skies. Although it could not fly, it could glide through the forests it shared with other ancient reptiles, such as Silesaurus.🧵
Ozimek volans, a member of the Sharovipterygidae family, was discovered in the Late Triassic formation near Krasiejów, Poland. It was found alongside other reptiles, such as Silesaurus and Cyclotosaurus. The precise phylogeny of Ozimek, as well as that of its family, remains unclear.
