A partial distal left metacarpal IV of a pterodactyloid pterosaur is notable for its size. The specimen, from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Wessex Formation exposed on the southwest coast of the Isle of Wight, southern England is identified as an ornithocheirid, perhaps close to the Ornithocheirus, Coloborhynchus, Caulkicephalus, Anhanguera complex. A morphometric analysis suggests an original wing span of approximately 5.6 m. With an early Barremian age, this pterosaur would have been a giant for its time.

英格兰南部韦塞克斯组(早白垩世,巴雷米亚)中翼展大的翼龙的其他证据

翼龙类翼龙的左掌骨远端远端IV值得注意。暴露在怀特岛的西南海岸的标本,从早白垩世(巴列姆)威塞克斯组,英格兰南部被标识为ornithocheirid,也许接近鸟掌翼龙属科罗拉多斯翼龙属捻船头翼龙属Anhanguera复杂。形态分析表明,原始机翼跨度约为5.6 m。由于巴雷米亚时代早,这种翼龙在当时将是巨大的。
