...ERIC BUFFETAUT; ATTILA ŐSI; EDINA PRONDVAI Abstract The fragmentary pterosaur material from the Campanian Grünbach Formation (Gosau Group) of Muthmannsdorf (Austria), previously identified as Ornithocheirus buenzeli Bunzel, 1871, is revised. A lower jaw fragment shows a helical type of articulation...

... stepwise by Istiodactylus, Ornithocheirus and the Anhangueridae. Tapejaroids are composed of the Dsungaripteridae at the base followed by the Tapejaridae and the Azhdarchidae. Major trends within pterosaur evolutionary history are: general increase in size (wing span and body); increase of wing...

... [1882] as Pterodactylus sedgwicki , and referred to Ornithocheirus by Buffetaut et al. [1989] . Its centrum is much shorter relative to its width than that of the vertebra from Grandpré, and its neural arch is clearly distinct from the dorsoventrally flattened, rather than cylindrical, centrum...

... is an ornitho-cheirid pterosaur that differs from other members of the group at present comprising the genera Ornithocheirus, Coloborhynchus and Anhanguera ( Unwin 2001 ) in the following diagnostic characters: the possession of a caudally directed, laterally compressed parieto-occipital crest; presence...

... and the possession of a prominently grooved sagittal crest. There remains, however, an Upper Cretaceous pterosaur described by Owen (1874) as Ornithocheirus sagittirostris from the Wealden Group of Sussex, southern England. The mandible of this taxon also has expanded alveoli, and is similar in this respect...

... and rule out probing as the main means of pterosaur feeding. The most reasonable food choice for pterosaurs in northern high latitudes was fish, a food type also invoked for Ornithocheirus , the dominant southern, high-latitude pterosaur ( Wellnhofer, 1991 ). Such an interpretation is also suggested...

..., as was Lydekker's tentative referral to Ornithocheirus , as the specimen is most probably from an azhdarchoid pterosaur ( Witton et al. 2009 ). Owen (1846 b ) did, however, speculate on the size of ‘ Palaeornis ’ when alive, suggesting it ‘must have been about one-third larger than the Pterodactylus macronyx...

... and a pterosaurian notarium. In 1997, Jianu et al . erroneously asserted that Nopcsa had considered the Transylvanian pterosaur to be ‘ Ornithocheirus? ’ in his 1926 paper on the Gosau reptiles ( Nopcsa 1926a ). In fact, this paper deals exclusively with the reptile fauna from the Campanian of Muthmannsdorf...

All of this changed with the advent of financially accessible CT scanning and in 2010 three fragments of ornithocheirid wing bone (NHMUK PV OR 35228, Ornithocheirus simus , probably first or second wing phalanx) were scanned at the NHMUK. Further scans were...

Also of note is the pairing of Dsungaripteridae with Azhdarchidae, an arrangement not evident in any of Bennett's earlier cladograms (1989...
