What is A New Pterosaur (Pterosauria) From Middle Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Western Liaoning, China (Archaeoistiodactylus) about?

A new pterosaur species, Archaeoistiodactylus linglongtaensis, has been identified from the Middle Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation in western Liaoning, China, based on an incomplete skeleton. This species is characterized by unique dental and skeletal features, suggesting it may represent an ancestral form of known istiodactylid pterosaurs. The discovery provides important insights into the evolution of istiodactylids, indicating that the pointed jaw tip is a primitive trait compared to later forms.
