On the cervical vertebrae of the Pterodactyloidea (Reptilia: Archosauria)
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1986 Within the Pterodactyloidea, the cervical vertebrae show considerable variation. These elements are also sufficiently common and contain enough anatomical information to make them taxonomically valuable. A survey of these vertebrae concludes that most known pterodactyloids fall into two groups: long-necked forms with attenuated cervical vertebrae that ...

A new ?chaoyangopterid (Pterosauria: Pterodactyloidea) from the Cretaceous Kem Kem beds of southern Morocco [PDF]
Cretaceous Research, 2020 Abstract A new genus and species of edentulous pterodactyloid pterosaur with a distinctive partial rostrum from the mid-Cretaceous (?Albian/Cenomanian) Kem Kem beds of southeast Morocco is described. The taxon is assigned to Chaoyangopteridae based upon its edentulous jaws, elongate rostrum and slightly concave dorsal outline.

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.
