Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ludodactylus was a genus of ornithocheirid pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Aptian-age Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation of Ceará, Brazil. The genus was named by Eberhard Frey et al. in 2003. The type species is Ludodactylus sibbicki. The genus name is derived from Latin ludus, "game" and Greek daktylos, "finger". Ludus refers to the fact, long lamented by paleontologists, that many toy pterosaurs combined teeth with a Pteranodon-like head crest, while no such creature was known to exist — however Ludodactylus shows exactly this combination of features. "Dactylus", in reference to the characteristic long wing finger, has been a common element in the names of pterosaurs since the first known was named Pterodactylus. The specific name "sibbicki" is an homage to the paleoartist John Sibbick, who illustrated Peter Wellnhofer's The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Pterosaurs.
