A new locality with fossils of pterosaurs from Cerros Bravos, northeast of
Copiapó, Atacama Region is reported, in outcrops of Quebrada Monardes
Formation, a geological unit assigned to the Lower Cretaceous. Among the
discovered remains are two incomplete first wing phalanges (one of them
tridimensionally preserved), which have been assigned to pterodactyloids.
This finding adds a second locality with pterosaur bones from Quebrada
Monardes Formation. Future investigations of the pterosaurs of this
locality will probably increase the knowledge about the diversity of these
animals in the southwestern margin of Gondwana at the beginning of the
Cretaceous period.
