Fossil of a 170-million-year-old flying reptile discovered in Scotland is the "largest ever found"

According to the National Museum of Scotland, the fossil of a pterosaur (more commonly known as pterodactyls) is “the largest of its type ever discovered from the Jurassic Period.” According to the museum, the reptile’s wingspan was more than 8 feet. This is similar to an albatross.
Amelia Penny, a PhD student, discovered the fossil during a 2017 field trip to the Isle of Skye in remote northern Scotland. She noticed the jaw of the pterosaur protruding from the rocks. The museum will add it to its collection.
“Pterosaurs that are preserved in this quality are extremely rare, and they are often reserved for select rock formations in Brazil or China.” Yet, an immense, superbly preserved, pterosaur emerged out of a tidal plate in Scotland,” Natalia Jagielska (a doctoral student at Edinburgh) said. She is also the author of a scientific paper that describes the discovery.
