Taxonomic review of the Ornithocheirus complex (Pterosauria) from the Cretaceous of England
- BiologyZooKeys
- 2013
Investigation of the primary literature confirmed that Criorhynchus should be considered an objective junior synonym of Ornithocheirus, and a cladistic analysis demonstrates that Anhangueridae lies within a newly recognized clade, here named AnHangueria, which also includes the genera Cearadactylus, Brasileodactyls, Ludodactelus, and Camposipterus.
A new phylogenetic hypothesis of Tanystropheidae (Diapsida, Archosauromorpha) and other “protorosaurs”, and its implications for the early evolution of stem archosaurs
- Environmental Science, BiologyPeerJ
- 2021
The polyphyly of “Protorosauria” is confirmed and therefore the usage of this term should be abandoned and a new phylogenetic hypothesis is presented that comprises a wide range of archosauromorphs, including the most exhaustive sample of ”protorosaurs” to date and several “protorosaur” taxa from the eastern Tethys margin that have not been included in any previous analysis.
Taxonomy of the Lonchodectidae (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea)
- Environmental Science
- 2020
The diagnostic characters for the Lonchodectidae are the presence of the palatal ridge, elevated alveolar margin of the upper and lower jaws, small teeth that are not varying in size, and a prominent mandibular crest.
A taxonomic revision of the genus Tanystropheus (Archosauromorpha, Tanystropheidae)
- BiologyPalaeontologia Electronica
- 2019
A complete overview of the taxonomic history and a revision of the Tanystropheus genus is provided based on first hand observations of the type material of most of the species and it is concluded that T. conspicuus and T. haasi should be considered nomina dubia and thatT.
Pterosauria of the Great Oolite Group (Bathonian, Middle Jurassic) of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, England
- Environmental Science

The current understanding of UK Middle Jurassic pterosaur taxonomy is under-developed, leading to it being previously considered a time of low diversity. This is despite the presence of a productive…

Abstract A specimen of a pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand Formation (Early Cretaceous, Valanginian) of Bexhill, East Sussex, southern England is described. It comprises a…
Premaxillary crest variation within the Wukongopteridae (Reptilia, Pterosauria) and comments on cranial structures in pterosaurs.
- BiologyAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias
- 2017
It is argued that the function of cranial structures in pterosaurs cannot be dismissed a priori as a valuable tool for species recognition and there is no significant variation in the anatomy of the pelvis of crested and crestless specimens.
