Keresdrakon vilsoni
Taxonomy
Keresdrakon vilsoni was named by Kellner et al. (2019) [Azhdarchoid pterodactyloid with the following autapomorphies: short blunt ridge on the dorsal surface of the posterior end of the dentary; foramen on the ventral surface at the anterior half of the proximal articulation of the first phalanx of digit IV; and foramen on lateral surface of the ischium.
The new species can be further distinguished from other azhdarchoid pterosaurs by the following combination of characters: dorsal margin of the premaxillae above the nasoantorbital fenestra rounded; sagittal groove on the dorsal surface of the premaxillae above the nasoantorbital fenestra; ridge on the medial surface of the splenial; ventral bar of the nasoantorbital fenestra thick; lateral pneumatic foramen on mid-cervical vertebra large; and strongly asymmetrical sternal articulation of the coracoid.]. Its type specimen is CP.V 2069, a partial skeleton, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Cemitério dos Pterossauros Quarry, which is in an Aptian/Campanian interdune sandstone/sandstone in the Goio-Erê Formation of Brazil.
