Enigmatic Solnhofen reptile?

[The Amateur Paleontologist]

So I was browsing through the Archaeopteryx lithographica records on FossilWorks; and in one of the three records (from Workerszell, Eichstätt), I notice the mention of an 'unclassified' reptile taxon "Rhacehosaurus gracilis". The only further information that was provided was the age range (150.8 to 145.5 Ma) and the geographical distribution. I looked elsewhere online (google scholar, ResearchGate...) for any other mention of the genus "Rhacehosaurus", and nothing else turns up. Do you people know about this enigmatic taxon? Is it some kind of invalid synonym or something?

I'd love to know more about this..

Thanks for the paper  looking forward to finding more about it (I wasn't really expecting Rhacehosaurus to appear in a metryorhynchid paper, though)...

correct spelling: Rhacheosaurus

Thanks Piranha for the correct spelling. Without knowledge of the genus, finding the correct spelling would be difficult. Google search did not find the correct spelling when I searched for the incorrect one. See Wikipedia article with references.     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhacheosaurus

It wasn't your fault.  PBDB has it wrong on the page you linked.  It is correct at another entry at PBDB.  Typos happen!  lol

Ok, thanks for the info.. I hadn't considered the option that it was a typo
