Tendaguripterus

Wikipedia Abstract

Tendaguripterus was a genus of dsungaripteroid pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Kimmeridgian-Tithonian-age Upper Jurassic Middle Saurian Beds of Tendaguru, Mtwara Region, Tanzania. During the German paleontological expeditions to German East Africa between 1909 and 1913, some pterosaur fossil material was collected that was recognised as such by Hans Reck in 1931. In 1999 David Unwin and Wolf-Dieter Heinrich named a new genus for it. The type species is Tendaguripterus recki. The genus name is derived from Tendaguru and a Latinised Greek pteron, "wing". The specific name honours Reck.
