Not sure if this has been discussed before on the forum but here is an article talking about a Pterosaur species named Ornithocheirus wiedenrothi that has recently been renamed in it's own genus as Targaryendraco wiedenrothi. The holotype fossils were originally found in Northern Germany back in 1984 but recently it has been concluded that this species belongs to it's own genus and as such the authors chose to name it in honour of the dragons in the book series "Game of Thrones". The Pterosaur itself lived about 130mya. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/feb/26/game-of-thrones-honoured-in-new-classification-of-pterosaur And the scientific paper can be found here https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08912963.2019.1690482?scroll=top&needAccess=true&journalCode=ghbi20
