Реконструкция шеи Azhdarcho lancicollis и образ жизни аждархид (Pterosauria, Azhdarchidae) [PDF]
Палеонтологический журнал, 2013 Компьютерная реконструкция изолированных шейных позвонков Azhdarcho lancicollis из турона Узбекистана позволила создать трехмерную модель шейного отдела позвоночника этого животного. Относительная длина шейных позвонков (I + II VI > VII > VIII > IX) такая же, как у птеродактилоидов с неудлиненными шейными позвонками.

A new ctenochasmatid (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea) from the late Jurassic of Uruguay [PDF]
Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2021 Abstract A new ctenochasmatid pterosaur from the Tacuarembo Formation (Late Jurassic of Uruguay), Tacuadactylus luciae gen. et sp. nov. is described, based on a rostrum fragment with spatulated tip and dentary fragments. It closely resembles Gnathosaurus in the orientation of the teeth and the presence of interalveolar concavities.
