Tendaguripterus is known from only a single piece of lower jaw, which was discovered in Tanzania during a German expedition between 1910 and 1912.1

The lower jaw of Tendaguripterus is short, robust, and tall, and it becomes more than one and a half times taller towards the back, giving it a very deep shape.1

Its tooth row looks bumpy, and its teeth stick out strongly from the jaw.1

Tendaguripterus lived alongside famous dinosaurs like Giraffatitan and Kentrosaurus in the Tendaguru Formation.1

The name Tendaguripterus honors Hans Reck, the first person to describe pterosaurs from Tendaguru.1 2
