Anhanguerid
Anhangueridae is a group of pterosaurs within the suborder Pterodactyloidea. They were among the last pterosaurs to possess teeth. A recent study discussing the group considered the Anhangueridae to be typified by a premaxillary crest and a lateral expansion in the distal rostrum. The same study presented a cladistic analysis, for which an "agreement subtree" was calculated. The Anhangueridae was found to be sister taxon to the large crested ''Tropeognathus''. Relationships There are competing theories of ornithocheiromorph phylogeny (evolutionary relationships). Below is cladogram following a topology recovered by Brian Andres, using the most recent iteration of his data set. The cladogram below follows Pêgas ''et al.'' (2019), who recovered Anhangueridae as a much more inclusive group. The analysis found most of the ornithocheirids falling into this family, while ''Ornithocheirus'' itself was recovered as a basal member of Ornithocheirae Ornithocheirae is an extinct clad ...

Tropeognathus
''Tropeognathus'' (meaning "keel jaw") is a genus of large pterosaurs from the late Early Cretaceous of South America. This genus is considered to be a member of the family Anhangueridae, however, several studies have also recovered it within another family called Ornithocheiridae. Both of these families are diverse groups of pterosaurs known for their keel-tipped snouts and large size. ''Tropeognathus'' is regarded as the largest pterosaur found in the Southern Hemisphere, only rivaled by the huge azhdarchids. The type and only species is ''Tropeognathus mesembrinus''. Fossil remains of ''Tropeognathus'' have been recovered from the Romualdo Formation, which is a Lagerstätte located in the Santana Group of the Araripe Basin in northeastern Brazil. Discovery and naming In the 1980s the German paleontology museum '' Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und historische Geologie'' in Munich acquired a pterosaur skull from Brazilian fossil dealers that had probably bee ...

Cearadactylus
''Cearadactylus'' is a genus of large anhanguerid pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Romualdo Formation of Brazil, South America. Fossil remains of ''Cearadactylus'' dated back to the Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous period, about 112 million years ago. The only known species is ''C. atrox'', described and named in 1985 by Giuseppe Leonardi and Guido Borgomanero. The name refers to the Brazilian state Ceará, and combines this with Greek ''daktylos'', "finger", a reference to the wing finger of pterosaurs. The Latin ''atrox'' means "frightful", a reference to the fearsome dentition of the species. Discovery The holotype of ''Cearadactylus'' is MN 7019-V (formerly CB-PV-F-O93), which was discovered in the Romualdo Formation of the Santana Group in the Araripe plateau of northeastern Brazil. It consists of a single skull with a length of .Leonardi, G. & Borgomanero, G. (1985). "''Cearadactylus atrox'' nov. gen., nov. sp.: novo Pterosauria (Pterodactyloidea) da Chapada do Ararip ...

Anhangueria
Anhangueria (or anhanguerians) is a group of pterosaurs belonging to the clade Pteranodontoidea. Fossil remains of this group date back from the Early to Late Cretaceous periods (Valanginian to Turonian stages), around 140 to 92.5 million years ago. Anhangueria was named by paleontologists Taissa Rodrigues and Alexander Kellner in a review of ''Ornithocheirus'' species in 2013, they defined the clade as a branch-based taxon consisting of all pteranodontoids more closely related to ''Anhanguera blittersdorffi'' than to ''Istiodactylus latidens'' and ''Cimoliopterus cuvieri''. Classification Anhangueria originally only contained the genera '' Brasileodactylus'', ''Camposipterus'', ''Cearadactylus'', ''Ludodactylus'' as well as the family Anhangueridae, however, recent analyses had recovered the family Hamipteridae within this clade as well. In 2014, paleontologist Brian Andres and colleagues assigned more groups and genera within this clade, this included ''Guidraco'', the subfa ...

Guidraco
''Guidraco'' (Chin. ''gui'' (鬼) "malicious ghost" + Lat. ''draco'' "dragon") is an extinct genus of toothed pterodactyloid pterosaur known from the Early Cretaceous of Liaoning Province, northeast China. According to many recent studies, ''Guidraco'' is a member of the group Anhanguerinae, a subfamily belonging to the larger group Anhangueridae. Discovery ''Guidraco'' is known only from the holotype IVPP V17083, an articulated partial skeleton consisting of a nearly complete skull, lower jaws and a series of four, second to fifth, cervical vertebrae. It was collected at Sihedang near Lingyuan City in the Liaoning Province from the Jiufotang Formation, dating to the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous, about 120 million years ago. Etymology ''Guidraco'' was first described and named by Wang Xiaolin, Alexander W.A. Kellner, Jiang Shunxing and Cheng Xin in 2012 and the type species is ''Guidraco venator''. The generic name is derived from Chinese ''gui'' (鬼), "m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Siroccopteryx
''Siroccopteryx'' is an extinct genus of anhanguerid pterodactyloid pterosaur, known from middle Cretaceous (between the Albian and Cenomanian stages, about 105 million years ago) sediments in modern-day Morocco. Some researchers, such as David M. Unwin, consider the genus a junior synonym of ''Coloborhynchus''. Description The genus was named and described in 1999 by Bryn Mader and Alexander Kellner. The name ''Siroccopteryx'' means "wing of the Sirocco", referring to the warm wind that originates in the North Africa and then goes through the Mediterranean, and the Greek word ''pteryx'', a standard suffix for pterosaur genera that means "wing". The epithet of the type species ''S. moroccensis'' refers to its country of origin. This pterosaur is known only from the front part of the jaw with teeth. The holotype fossil, LINHM 016 (Long Island Natural History Museum), was found near Ksar es Souk, in the province of Errachidia in the region of Meknes-Tafilalet at 30.4 ° N, 4 ...
