Mfundo zosangalatsa
Navajodactylus is known from only a few wing bones, including a piece of the first wing finger phalanx.1
Its name honors the Navajo Nation, combining 'Navajo' with the Greek word for finger, 'daktylos'.1
The holotype fossil was discovered by oceanographer Arjan C. Boeré in 2002.1
Scientists are not sure if Navajodactylus belongs to the azhdarchid family, because its wing bones lack air spaces that azhdarchids usually have.1
Navajodactylus lived about 75 million years ago, during the late Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.12
Some fossils from Alberta, Canada were once thought to be Navajodactylus, but later scientists assigned them to a different pterosaur called Cryodrakon.1

- Scientists debate whether Navajodactylus is truly an azhdarchid pterosaur, because it lacks the air-filled bones typical of that group.1
