First record of a Late Jurassic rhamphorhynchine pterosaur from Gondwana [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 We describe partial remains of a non-pterodactyloid pterosaur from Upper Jurassic levels of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. The material includes a left humerus, a possible dorsal vertebra, and the shaft of a wing phalanx, all preserved in three ...

Evidence for the presence of Rhamphorhynchus (Pterosauria: Rhamphorhynchinae) in the Kimmeridge Clay of the UK [PDF]
Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 2015 Abstract The second pterosaur genus to be established, Rhamphorhynchus von Meyer, 1847 , has historically been used as a wastebasket material. Several species have been erected for fossils found in Europe and Africa, the majority of which are based on non-diagnostic material.

A specimen of Rhamphorhynchus with soft tissue preservation, stomach contents and a putative coprolite [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Despite being known for nearly two centuries, new specimens of the derived non-pterodactyloid pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus continue to be discovered and reveal new information about their anatomy and palaeobiology.

A giant specimen of Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and comments on the ontogeny of rhamphorhynchines [PDF]
PeerJRhamphorhynchus is one of the best-known pterosaurs, with well over 100 specimens being held in public collections. Most of these represent juvenile animals, and the adults known are typically around 1 m in wingspan.

Were early pterosaurs inept terrestrial locomotors? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Pterodactyloid pterosaurs are widely interpreted as terrestrially competent, erect-limbed quadrupeds, but the terrestrial capabilities of non-pterodactyloids are largely thought to have been poor.

THE PRESENCE OF AN ORBITOANTORBITAL FENESTRA: FURTHER EVIDENCE OF THE ANUROGNATHID PECULIARITY WITHIN THE PTEROSAURIA [PDF]
, 2022 The anurognathids are peculiar pterosaurs characterized by broad skulls with very short rostra and broadly arched jaws. The presence of distinct or confluent external naris and antorbital fenestra in these pterosaurs has been debated in the last years ...
