E. The Cretaceous (kriːˈteɪʃəs, usually abbreviated 'K' for its German translation "Kreide" is a geologic period and system, reaching from the end of Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Reptiles, or members of the class Reptilia are air-breathing Cold-blooded Vertebrates that have skin covered in scales as opposed to hair or feathers For other meanings see Pterodactyl (disambiguation.

Eoazhdarcho (meaning "dawn Azhdarcho") is a genus of azhdarchoid pterodactyloid pterosaur. In biology a type is that which fixes a name to a Taxon. Depending on the nomenclature code which is applied to the organism in question a type may be a specimen Azhdarcho (IPA pronunciation) is a genus of Pterodactyloid Pterosaur from the late Cretaceous Period (Upper Turonian A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic Azhdarchoidea is a group of Pterosaurs within the suborder Pterodactyloidea. Pterodactyloidea (derived from the Greek Words πτερόν ( pterón, for usual ptéryx) "wing" and δάκτυλος For other meanings see Pterodactyl (disambiguation. Pterosaurs (ˈtɛrəsɔr from the Greek πτερόσαυρος pterosauros It was found in the Aptian-age Lower Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation of Chaoyang, Liaoning, China. Aptian stage is a Faunal stage of the Early Cretaceous epoch in the Geologic timescale, that extends from 125 The Early Cretaceous ( timestratigraphic name or the Lower Cretaceous ( logstratigraphic name is the earlier of the two major divisions of the Cretaceous The Yixian Formation is a Geological formation in Jinzhou, Liaoning, People's Republic of China, that stems from the Early Cretaceous Chaoyang may refer to Chaoyang Liaoning, city in Liaoning China Chaoyang County, county in Chaoyang Liaoning Chaoyang ( is a northeastern province of the People's Republic of China. Talk People's Republic of China) PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ARTICLE GUIDELINES It is based on GMN-03-11-02, a partial skeleton and lower jaw, and is distinguished from other pterosaurs by the proportions of its bones. A holotype is one of several possible Biological types A type is what fixes a name to a Taxon. It was relatively small by azhdarchid standards, with a wingspan of about 1. The wingspan (or just span) of an airplane or a Bird, is the distance from the left wingtip to the right wingtip 6 meters (5. The metre or meter is a unit of Length. It is the basic unit of Length in the Metric system and in the International 2 feet). A foot (plural feet or foot; symbol or abbreviation ft or sometimes &prime – the prime symbol) is a non-SI unit Its describers first assigned it to the Azhdarchidae, and compared it to Azhdarcho,[1] but later, after a cladistic analysis, suggested that it was more basal than Azhdarchidae proper, but was still in the same superfamily. Cladistics is the hierarchical classification of Species based on evolutionary ancestry In Phylogenetics, a basal Clade is the earliest clade to branch in a larger clade it appears at the base of a cladogram [2] Lü, Unwin and colleagues later placed in in a family of basal azhdarchoids, the Chaoyangopteridae.
