  New in _Comptes Rendus):

Buffetaut, E. & Guibert, J.-P. 2001.An early pterodactyloid pterosaur from the 
Oxfordian of
Normandy (northwestern France). _Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences 
[Sciences de la Terre
et des planètes] (Sér. IIa)_ 333 (7): 405-409.

Abstract:
  "A long and slender wing metacarpal from the Late Oxfordian Sables de Glos of 
Cordebugle
(Calvados, Normandy) clearly belongs to a pterodactyloid pterosaur, with an 
estimated wingspan of
at least 2.30 m. This is currently one of the earliest records of a 
representative of the
Pterodactyloidea."
