OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Araripesaurus was a pterosaur, belonging to the Pterodactyloidea, from the famous Santana Formation of Brazil, dating from the Lower Cretaceous. The genus was named in 1971 by Brazilian paleontologist Llewellyn Ivor Price. The type species is Araripesaurus castilhoi. The genus name refers to the Araripe Plateau. The specific name honours the collector Moacir Marques de Castilho, who in 1966 donated the chalk nodule containing the fossil. The holotype, DNPM (DGM 529-R), consists of a partial wing, including distal fragments of the radius and ulna, carpals, all metacarpals and several digits. The specimen was a subadult. Its wing span was estimated at 2.2 metres. Of two other specimina, also consisting of wing fragments, it was by Price suggested that they possibly belonged to the genus; these were a third larger.
