Unwindia

Unwindia is a genus of basal ctenochasmatoid (though more recent anylisis might place it in Lonchodectidae,[1] and it is noted to be "aberrant" by ctenochasmatoid standards in the original paper) pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous of northeastern Brazil. It is known from a partial skull recovered from rocks of the Santana Formation of the Araripe Basin, dating to Cenomanian stage.[2] It was named by David M. Martill in 2011 and the type species is Unwindia trigonus.[2] The skull length is estimated at 300mm which would indicate a wingspan of over 3 metres. This would make Unwindia the largest member of the Lonchodectidae as well as its first species from the southern hemisphere.
