Belonochasma
Extinct genus of jawed vertebrates
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belonochasma (meaning "needle mouth") is a genus of reptile from the Mesozoic (possibly Jurassic) of Franconia, Bavaria, Germany.[2] The type species, B. aenigmaticum, was described in 1939.[1][3] It was once thought to be a pterosaur, but this was rejected by Oskar Kuhn in 1961,[4] and upheld by Peter Wellnhofer in 1978.[5]
