The first pterosaur from the Bauru Group: an azhdarchid from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The vertebrate fossil record of the Bauru Group (Upper Cretaceous, southeastern Brazil) is remarkably rich, with a predominance of titanosaurs and crocodyliforms, alongside theropods, turtles, squamates, fishes and even small mammals. In contrast, pterosaur remains from the Bauru Group have remained elusive until now.
