根据发现于辽西朝阳九佛堂组一具有部分头骨的不完整骨架,命名一新的帆翼龙——赵氏龙城翼龙(新属新种)。头骨和牙齿形态显示龙城翼龙与宽齿帆翼龙的关系要比与其他翼龙的关系密切,龙城翼龙是目前辽西九佛堂组中发现的唯一的帆翼龙类。帆翼龙科原仅一属种,发现于英国早白垩世地层中,辽西早白垩世新帆翼龙的发现,不但扩大了其地理分布,也证明辽西是晚侏罗世至早白垩世翼龙辐射、分异的重要地区。这对研究翼龙的起源和演化有重要意义。
According to the incomplete skeleton of a partially skulls found in the Jiufotang Formation in Chaoyang, Western Liaoyang, a new sail pterosaur - the Ching Long pterosaur (new genus) is named. Skull and tooth morphology shows that the relationship between the dragon pterosaur and the broad-crested pterosaur is more closely related to other pterosaurs. The dragon pterosaur is the only one of the genus Cicerodon found in the Jiufotang Formation in western Liaoning Province. The only species belonging to the genus Pterosaur was found in the Early Cretaceous strata in the United Kingdom. The discovery of the Early Cretaceous new pterosaur in the western Liaoning Province not only expanded its geographical distribution, but also proved that the western Liaoning was a member of the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Dragon radiation, differentiation of important areas. This is of great significance for the study of the origin and evolution of pterosaurs.
