Title from caption.
"March 24, 2005."
"During the 2000 field season of the Mongolian Academy-American Museum of Natural History Expedition to Mongolia, an isolated pterosaur cervical vertebra was collected from the Öösh locality in Övörkhangai Aimag"--P. [1].
"Although dinosaur fossils are common in the early Cretaceous strata of Öösh, remains of other vertebrates are rare. Here we describe the first pterosaur fossil known from this locality. The specimen consists of a single vertebra that exhibits sufficient morphology to identify it as a nonazhdarchid tapejaroid pterosaur. Remains of such animals have been found in similarly aged rocks (some with accompanying similar faunas) throughout Central Asia"--P. [1].
