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.
