Morfología caudal de Pterodaustro guinazui (Pterosauria: Ctenochasmatidae) del Cretácico de Argentina

Abstract

Se describen cuatro especimenes inéditos preliminarmente asignados a Pterodaustro que incluyen las vértebras caudales bien preservadas. La descripción se basa principalmente en dos de ellos que corresponden a individuos sub-adultos de distintos tamaños, MHIN-UNSL-GEO-V 243 y MHIN-UNSL-GEO-V 165. Los otros dos especimenes, MHIN-UNSL-GEO-V 241 y MMP 1168 (de 28 cm y 30 cm de envergadura alar, respectivamente) representan estados muy tempranos de desarrollo. Se conoce muy poco acerca de la morfología de las vértebras caudales de los pterodáctiloideos, especialmente dentro de Ctenochasmatidae (Ej. Huanhepterus quingyangensis y Eosipterus yangi, Ctenochasma gracile), taxón al cual pertenece Pterodaustro. Entre los mas derivados solo se han descrito Pteranodon, Anhanguera piscator, Dsungaripterus weii y Nyctosaurus. De las comparaciones con los pterodactyloideos mas cercano a Pterodaustro y los mas derivados, se deduce que Pterodaustro tiene la particularidad de poseer un mayor número de vértebras caudales que cualquier otro pterodáctiloideo conocido hasta la fecha. De esta manera se concluye que el elevado número de vértebras caudales (más de 22 elementos) y la variación morfológica contenida dentro de la serie caudal de Pterodaustro guinazui constituyen una potencial autopomorfía de este pterosaurio. Por otro lado esta nueva descripción adiciona nueva información para el conocimiento de la evolución de la morfología caudal de los pterosaurios.
