| 摘 要： | The Pterosauria display an extremely wide range of dental variation from multi-cusped, laterally compressed crowns in basal forms, to the fang-like teeth of ornithocheirids. Indeed, some ctenochasmatids possess teeth with diameter/length ratios (1/75) that exceed some notable proboscidians (1/15) and cetaceans (1/30). Despite this diversity, pterosaur tooth microstructure has received scant attention.
