Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark Described as pterosaur, however an unidentifiable diapsid according to Bennett, 2007. From that work: The specimen [holotype of Utahdactylus kateae] does not provide any evidence to suggest that it is a pterosaur, and provides evidence in the form of the scapulocoracoid and the broad neural spine of the dorsal vertebra to suggest that it is not a pterosaur.
