A superbly preserved skull reveals information about the evolution of the braincase in pterodactyloids
Scientists today announced the discovery of a new species of pterosaur from the Patagonia region of South America. The cranial remains were in an excellent state of preservation and belonged to a new species of pterosaur from the Early Jurassic. The researchers have named this new species Allkauren koi from the native Tehuelche word 'all' for 'brain' and 'karuen' for 'ancient.'

Europe, N America, S America, Africa - obviously a very successful group of flying reptiles, cousins of the dinosaurs.
