OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Comodactylus is a genus of rhamphorhynchoid pterosaur from the Kimmeridgian-Tithonian-age Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Wyoming, USA, named for a single wing metacarpal. In 1879 collector William Harlow Reed sent some fossil material he had dug up at Como Bluff in Quarry N 9, or the Mammal Quarry , to his employer Professor Othniel Charles Marsh at New Haven. Among it was the bone of a pterosaur, that was subsequently filed, stored and forgotten. However, in 1981 Peter Galton named, based on this bone, the genus Comodactylus. The type species is Comodactylus ostromi. The genus name is derived from Como Bluff and Greek daktylos, finger , referring to the wing finger typical of pterosaurs. The specific name honours John Ostrom.
