Yuong-Nam Lee Coloborhynchus wadleighi, a new pterosaur from the Paw Paw Formation (upper Albian), Texas, is closely related to an English species Coloborhynchus clavirostris. A dentulous partial snout shows unique tooth arrangement and a dorsal medial crest on the anterior portion of the premaxilla. This is the first tooth-bearing pterodactyloid pterosaur known from North America. The genus Coloborhynchus is assigned to the family Ornithocheiridae. The Palaeontological Association (Free Access)
