Raeticodactylus is a genus of non-pterodactyloid pterosaur from the late Norian-early Rhaetian-age[1] Upper Triassic lower Kössen Formation (about 213-209 million years ago)[2] of the central Austroalpine of Grisons, Switzerland. It is known from holotype BNM 14524, a single disarticulated partial skeleton including an almost complete skull, found in August 2005. This genus was named and described in 2008 by its discoverer Rico Stecher; the type species is Raeticodactylus filisurensis. The specific name refers to Filisur.[1]
