A study aiming to determine the nature and average number of osteological characters used to diagnose pterosaur species, as well as aiming to estimate how many pterosaur taxa are still unknown, is published by Fernandes, Nunes & Costa (2021). [397] A study on the phylogenetic affinities of pterosaurs is published by Baron (2021). [398]
The fossil shows the huge flying reptile would have had an estimated wingspan of more than 2.5 metres.

Below is cladogram following a topology recovered by Brian Andres, using the most recent iteration of his data set (Andres, 2021). Andres' analysis found Pterodactylus to be a close relative of the ctenochasmatoids. Andre's analysis found the "aurorazhdarchian" group recovered by the analysis of Vidovic and Martill to mostly be members of the ...
