Abstract:

A pterosaur is reported for the first time from a Late Cretaceous marine Lagerstätte in Lebanon, which is famous mainly for its rich ichthyofauna. The specimen, from the early Cenomanian HâqelLagerstätte, is a partial, articulated forelimb that belongs to a relatively small, adult individual of the clade Pteranodontoidea sensu Kellner. It is the most complete skeletal remnant of a pterosaur described to date from the African-Arabian Plate and the most complete of the very sparse Cenomanian pterosaur record.
