Carniadactylus
''Carniadactylus'' is a genus of pterosaur which existed in Europe during the Late Triassic period (late Carnian or early Norian, about 228 million years ago〔Barrett, P. M., Butler, R. J., Edwards, N. P., & Milner, A. R. (2008). Pterosaur distribution in time and space: an atlas. ''Zitteliana'', 61-107. ()〕). The genus contains a single species, ''Carniadactylus rosenfeldi''.
==Description==
''Carniadactylus'' was similar in appearance and anatomy to its close relative ''Eudimorphodon'', though it was significantly smaller. Like ''Eudimorphodon'', it is notable for its complex multi-cusped teeth. Despite their similarities, the size difference between these two pterosaurs likely meant that they occupied different niches and relied on different food sources. This is supported by studies of their teeth. While similar in construction, the teeth of ''Carniadactylus'' show little to no wear, unlike the larger, fish-eating ''Eudimorphodon'', which may have been able to chew its food. The smaller ''Carniadactylus'' probably fed on smaller, soft-bodied prey like worms and insect larvae.〔Osi, A. (2010).
