| '''''Coloborhynchus spielbergi''''' is a ] species from the ]-age Romualdo Member of the ] Santana Formation, of Barra do Jardim, Araripe Plateau, ], ]. ''C. spielbergi'' was named after the filmmaker ]. | |||
| ==Description== | |||
| ''C. spielbergi'' was a large species originally based on RGM 401 880, a fossil specimen known from a nearly complete skull and parts of the skeleton currently housed in the ] in the ]. | |||
| Like other species assigned to the genus '']'', ''C. spielbergi'' bore large, rounded crests at the ends of expanded upper and lower jaws. However, rather than being robust and box-shaped as in many ''Coloborhynchus'' species, the jaw tips were more slender and spoon-shaped, and the crest is thin from top to bottom, both features commonly seen in species typically referred to '']'', a genus in which ''C. speilbergi'' is classified by some researchers (as ''A. spielbergi''). As in other ornithocheirids, the size and orientation of the teeth vary considerably along the jawline. In ''C. spielbergi'', the tooth pattern has been described as more similar to that of '']'' than to '']''.<ref name=AJV2006>Veldmeijer, A.J., H.J.M. Meijer, and M. Signore (2006). "''Coloborhynchus'' from the Lower Cretaceous Santana Formation, Brazil (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea, Anhangueridae); an update." ''PalArch’s Journal of Vertebrate Palaeontology'', '''3'''(2): 15-29.</ref> | |||
| ==Classification== | |||
| This species was originally classified in the genus ''Coloborhynchus'' due to the flattened upper jaw behind the crest, and a raised maxilla, though the usefulness of those in ornithocheirid classification has been questioned. Because the front half of the skull was poorly preserved, characteristics found there may not be ideal for comparing with similar species to determine genus assignment. Additionally, a flattened snout has been reported to be widespread among similar species, including those referred to ''Anhanguera''.<ref name=rodrigues&kellner2008>Rodrigues, T. and Kellner, A.W.A.
