Carniadactylus is a genus of pterosaur which existed in Europe during the Late Triassic period (Norian stage, about 217-213 million years ago). The genus contains a single species, Carniadactylus rosenfeldi.
==Discovery and naming== In 1995 the Italian paleontologist Fabio Marco Dalla Vecchia named a new species of the genus Eudimorphodon: E. rosenfeldi. The specific name honors the finder Corrado Rosenfeld. The holotype was MFSN 1797, a partial fossil skeleton with parts of the skull and lower jaws, but lacking the tail, found near Udine.
