Wyomingopteryx

Wyomingopteryx

"Wyomingopteryx" (meaning "Wyoming wing") is an informal name for a genus of pterosaur. It has never been described, and has only been mentioned in a description of a painting of Morrison Formation animals by Pat Redman, in a 1994 publication by Robert Bakker.Bakker, R.T. (1994) Unearthing the Jurassic. In: "Science Year 1995". World Book Inc.:Chicago, London, Sydney, Toronto, 76-89. ISBN 0716605953.] Aside from the Morrison Formation setting, which would give it a Late Jurassic age, its Wyoming (U.S.) location, and its restoration as a pterodactyloid, nothing else is known about it.
