Ornithocheiridae

(Seeley 1870)

Les Ornithocheiridae, ou ornithocheiridés, constituent une famille fossile de ptérosaures ayant vécu durant le Crétacé. Des restes fossiles de ces animaux ont été découvertes un peu partout dans le monde, soit en Australie, en Europe, en Afrique, en Amérique et en Asie.
