Camposipterus Nasutus
''Camposipterus'' is a genus of pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous of England. Fossil remains of ''Camposipterus'' dated back to the Early Cretaceous, about 112 million years ago. Discovery and naming In 1869, Harry Govier Seeley, based on a fossil found at Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire, named ''Ptenodactylus nasutus'',Seeley, H.G., 1869, ''Index to the fossil remains of Aves, Ornithosauria, and Reptilia, from the Secondary System of Strata arranged in the Woodwardian Museum of the University of Cambridge''. Deighton, Bell and Co., Cambridge, xxiii + 143 pp at the same time disclaiming the name which makes it invalid by modern standards. In 1870, Seeley had realized that the generic name ''Ptenodactylus'' had been preoccupied, so he renamed the species into '' Ornithocheirus nasutus''.Seeley, H.G., 1870, ''The Ornithosauria: an elementary study of the bones of pterodactyls, made from fossil remains found in the Cambridge Upper Greensand, and arranged in the ...

Lonchodraco Microdon
''Ikrandraco'' ("Ikran Avatar_(2009_film).html" ;"title=" flying creature from ''Avatar (2009 film)">Avatar'' with a crest on the lower jawdragon") is a genus of lonchodraconid pterodactyloid pterosaur known from Lower Cretaceous rocks in northeastern China and the Cambridge Greensand of the UK. It is notable for its unusual skull, which features a crest on the lower jaw. Discovery and naming The type species, ''Ikrandraco avatar'' is based on specimen IVPP V18199, a partial skeleton including the skull and jaws, several neck vertebrae, a partial sternal plate, parts of both wings, and part of a foot. A second specimen, IVPP 18406, has also been assigned to ''Ikrandraco''; it consists of a skull and jaws and the first three neck vertebrae. Both specimens come from the Aptian-age Lower Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation of Liaoning, with an estimated date of 120 million years ago. The type species is ''I. avatar'', a second reference to the movie ''Avatar''. It w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cimoliopterus Cuvieri
''Cimoliopterus'' is a genus of pterosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now England and the United States. The first known specimen, consisting of the front part of a snout including part of a crest, was discovered in the Grey Chalk Subgroup of Kent, England, and described as the new species '' Pterodactylus cuvieri'' in 1851. The specific name ''cuvieri'' honours the palaeontologist George Cuvier, whereas the genus ''Pterodactylus'' was then used for many pterosaur species that are not thought to be closely related today. It was one of the first pterosaurs to be depicted as models in Crystal Palace Park in the 1850s. The species was subsequently assigned to various other genera, including '' Ornithocheirus'' and ''Anhanguera''. In 2013, the species was moved to a new genus, as ''Cimoliopterus cuvieri''; the generic name ''Cimoliopterus'' is derived from the Greek words for "chalk" and "wing". Other specimens and species have also been assigned to or synonym ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Camposipterus Sedgwickii
''Aerodraco'' (meaning "air dragon") is a genus of anhanguerid pterosaur from the Albian– Cenomanian-age Cambridge Greensand of England. It contains only one species, ''Aerodraco sedgwickii''. It was originally assigned to the genus ''Pterodactylus''. Discovery and naming In 1859, Sir Richard Owen named pterosaur material from the Cambridge Greensand of England as ''Pterodactylus sedgwickii''.R. Owen. 1859. Supplement (No. I) to the Monograph on the Fossil Reptilia of the Cretaceous Formations. Palaeontographical Society Monographs 1–19 At the time, ''Pterodactylus'' was a wastebasket taxon; all sorts of unrelated pterosaurs were assigned to that genus. In 1870, Harry Seeley reassigned it to ''Ornithocheirus'', another wastebasket taxon. Its specific name honors Adam Sedgwick. It was in 1869 renamed by Seeley into a ''Ptenodactylus sedgwickii'',Seeley, H.G., 1869, ''Index to the fossil remains of Aves, Ornithosauria, and Reptilia, from the Secondary System of Strata arrang ...
