The osteology of <i>Ferrodraco lentoni</i>, an anhanguerid pterosaur from the mid-Cretaceous of Australia

Ferrodraco lentoni, an anhanguerid from the Upper Cretaceous Winton Formation of northeast Australia, is most complete Australian pterosaur described to date, represented by a partial cranium, incomplete cervical series and wing elements. Herein we present comprehensive osteological description Ferrodraco, as well emended diagnosis for this taxon. In addition, compare with other isolated remains deposits. Subtle, yet salient, differences indicate that at least three these specimens, all derived upper Albian Toolebuc Formation, are distinct Ferrodraco. However, uncertain whether specimens attributable Mythunga camara, Aussiedraco molnari, Thapunngaka shawi, or un-named Detailed postcranial material also provides opportunity reassess its phylogenetic position. one analysis, resolved sister taxa within Tropeognathinae, whereas in another, Mythunga, Tropeognathus form polytomy Coloborhynchinae. Either way, slight notwithstanding, close relationship between evident, supporting interpretation they clade. By contrast, molnari member Targaryendraconia, clade cosmopolitan distribution.
