Kepodactylus

Kepodactylus (meaning "garden finger", for Garden Park, Colorado, where it was found) is an extinct genus of pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Kimmeridgian-Tithonian-age Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Colorado, USA. It is based on DMNS 21684, which includes a cervical vertebra, humerus, several finger bones, and a metatarsal belonging to a pterodactyloid. It was similar to Mesadactylus but larger (wingspan around 2.5 m [8.2 ft]), and with additional holes in the vertebrae and humerus. It was regarded as a potentially valid genus in the most recent review of Morrison pterosaurs.
