Pterodactyloidea indet. B

( Fig. 20 E-I)

DESCRIPTION

A second indeterminate pterodactyloid taxon is present at Angeac-Charente ( Fig. 20 E-I). The teeth mainly differ from those of taxon A by their slenderer crown and narrower base in labial view. In cross section, the lingual face is more convex than the labial face. The enamel distribution is similar to that observed in taxon A. The enamel surface shows some short, irregular vertical folds. This taxon also occurs in the Berriasian of Cherves-de-Cognac ( Pouech 2008: fig. 38, pl. 23b).
