New azhdarchoid pterosaur from Big Bend National Park, western Texas
DD1991 posted a topic in Fossil News
A new pterosaur-related paper is out online if anyone is interested: Campos, H.B.N., 2021 A new azhdarchoid pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous Javelina Formation of Texas. Biologia. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11756-021-00841-7 If anyone is aware, the holotype of Javelinadactylus sagebieli was discovered in 1986 and listed as Quetzalcoatlus sp. by Peter Wellnhofer in his 1991 book on pterosaurs. However, later researchers regarded TMM 42489-2 as a relative of the mid-Cretaceous genus Tupuxuara, and it became clear that more than one pterosaur genus soared the skies over western Texas during the Maastrichtian.- 4 replies
