Arthurdactylus

''Arthurdactylus'' is a genus of pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Member, Santana Formation of northeastern Brazil. It was a large animal, with a wingspan of 4.6 meters (15 ft).
It was in 1994 named by Eberhard Frey and David Martill in honor of Arthur Conan Doyle, who featured large reptilian pterosaurs in his novel ''The Lost World'', about a professor finding prehistoric animals still alive on a plateau in South-America. They first spelled the species name as ''Arthurdactylus conan-doylei'', thus with a forbidden diacritic sign, and themselves carried out the necessary emendation to ''conandoylei'' in 1998. The holotype is SMNK 1132 PAL, a reasonably complete skeleton, lacking only a skull, neck, sternum and some caudal vertebrae. The specimen, adult or nearly so, was preserved on a plate and is slightly crushed. ''Arthurdactylus'' had, compared to the torso length of 22 centimetres, relatively long wings and especially long wing fingers, perhaps much more so than any other pterodactyloid. The hind limbs are however, weakly developed.
The describers assigned ''Arthurdactylus'' to the Ornithocheiridae. According to Brazilian paleontologist Alexander Kellner, who uses this concept in a different sense, ''Arthurdactylus'' can be best indicated as closely related to the Anhangueridae.
