Tapejara

Tapejara wellnhoferi

Tapejara (from a Tupi word meaning "the lord of the path") is a genus of Brazilian pterosaur from the Cretaceous Period (Santana Group, dating to about 127 to 112 million years ago). Tapejara crests consisted of a semicircular crest over the snout, and a bony prong which extended back behind the head. It was a small pterosaur, with a wingspan of approximately 1.23–1.3 metres (4.0–4.3 ft)
