Kariridraco

Kariridraco is a genus of thalassodromid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous-aged Romualdo Formation, Brazil. The genus contains a single species, Kariridraco dianae.

==Discovery and naming== Local workers in Ceará at some unknown location collected a concretion containing the back of the skull of a pterosaur. To enhance its value, they glued the snout of another specimen to the front of the skull. Ultimately, they donated the find to the Museu de Paleontologia Plácido Cidade Nuvens. Before his death in 2016, Nuvens let other experts study the concretion. The falsification was then discovered. They concluded that the fossil represented a species new to science. There were no indications that the snout belonged to the same species.
