Note: Re-examination of the original fossil material described as Ornithodesmus cluniculus has shown that this may actually belong to a small dromaeosaurid dinosaur.
Pterosaurian remains later synonymized with Ornisthodesmus were then renamed Istiodactylus.Depicted on:Central African Republic, 2021 (position 2 of sheet, but based on O. cluniculus)Central African Republic, 2023 (M.S., as O. cluniculus) Comoros, 1998 (position 9 of sheet 2) Djibouti, 2021 (position 3 of sheet) Guinea-Bissau, 2010 (M.S.)
