Torukjara
Genus of tapejarid pterosaurs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Torukjara is an extinct genus of tapejarin pterodactyloid pterosaurs from the Early Cretaceous "Pterosaur Graveyard" (Caiuá Group) of Brazil. The genus contains a single species, T. bandeirae, known from several specimens. The Torukjara fossil material was originally assigned to Caiuajara, but several anatomical differences indicate that both similar species coexisted in the ecosystem.
