Tapejaridae

Afrotapejara may not hold as many superlatives as its contemporary Spinosaurus but it may have been just as spectacular.

Revealed to the public in 2016, Aymberedactylus is basal tapejarid pterosaur from the Cretaceous of Brazil.

This Hungarian high-flyer from the Csehbanya Formation lived alongside freshwater mosasaurs capable of moving onto land.

Caiuajara was a crested pterosaur that may have lived in a desert environment in Brazil.

Caupedactylus, a tapejarid from Brazil is our 100th pterosaur.

Europejara is the earliest known pterosaur that lacked teeth. It probably used its toothless jaws to feed on fruit from flowering plants that would come to dominate the world later in the Cretaceous.

Along with Sinopterus, Huaxiapterus helps make up the tapejarids from the Jiufotang Formation of China.

Nemicolopterus is the smallest non-hatchling pterosaur ever discovered with a nearly 10-inch wingspan.

Sinopterus was the first tapejarid discovered outside of Brazil.

Tapejara will haunt your Cretaceous nightmares.

Tupandactylus had a very large crest made of both bone and soft tissue, and may have used it for display to other members of the species.

Tapejarids like Wightia were fruit-eaters that took advantage of the first flowering plants for food.
