A new paper (dated 2018, but just published in 2019):

A new locality with fossils of pterosaurs from Cerros Bravos, northeast of CopiapÃ, Atacama Region is reported, in outcrops of Quebrada Monardes Formation, a geological unit assigned to the Lower Cretaceous. Among the discovered remains are two incomplete first wing phalanges (one of them tridimensionally preserved), which have been assigned to pterodactyloids. This finding adds a second locality with pterosaur bones from Quebrada Monardes Formation. Future investigations of the pterosaurs of this locality will probably increase the knowledge about the diversity of these animals in the southwestern margin of Gondwana at the beginning of the Cretaceous period.
