An early juvenile of Kunpengopterus sinensis (Pterosauria) from the Late Jurassic in China [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The Wukongopteridae is a transitional clade between the long- and short-tailed pterosaur groups, and at least ten specimens have been studied without a determined juvenile specimen. Here, we described a small-sized Kunpengopterus sinensis, less than half
