We are all too familiar with the well-known Early Jurassic basal pterosaur Dimorphodon macronyx because it possessed two types of teeth with distinct morphologies, with long, fang-like teeth at the tips of the jaws and smaller flattened teeth running along the remainder of the lower jaw posterior to the teeth at the tip of the lower jaw. Now, a new osteology of this well-known pterosaur is now published:

Sangster S (2022). The osteology of Dimorphodon macronyx, a non-pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Lower Jurassic of Dorset, England. Monographs of the Palaeontographical Society 175 (661): 1–48. doi:10.1080/02693445.2021.2037868.
