Austriadraco

Austriadraco is a genus of pterosaur living during the Late Triassic (Norian stage, 217-213 million years ago)[1] in the area of present Austria.

[3] The same year Fabio Marco Dalla Vecchia doubted the comparability to E. ranzii and suggested that it represent a separate Eudimorphodon species.

[2] The holotype, BSP 1994 I 51, was found in a layer of the Seefeld Formation, dating from the late Norian.

The fossil is part of the collection of the Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und historische Geologie at Munich.

In the outer rear side of the lower jaw an opening is present, the mandibular fenestra.

He suggested a close relationship with Arcticodactylus as both taxa shared the trait of a short coracoid.

[2] In 2020, a study upheld by Matthew G. Baron about early pterosaur interrelationships found Austriadraco to group with Carniadactylus, Raeticodactylus, and the Austriadraconidae, which in turn were within a clade called Caviramidae.
