Abstract
A nearly complete skeleton of a Mesozoic pterosaur, which probably belongs to Jeholopterus (Anurognathidae), was discovered in the third member of the Sinuiju Formation, Paektho-dong, Sinuiju City, North Phyongan Province, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). This find documents the first pterosaur fossil from the Mesozoic of DPRK.
