Abstract
An incomplete pterosaur pelvis and sacrum has been recovered from the Lower Cretaceous (Albian) of western Queensland, Australia. The public region bears close similarity to that of Pteranodon. As the pelvis is uncrushed and undistorted the orientation of the acetabulum may be easily determined: it was directed laterally and somewhat upwards and backwards.Keywords
