The Rhamphorhynchoidea forms one of the two
Daohugou Beds which are most commonly dated to the Jurassic, but a few studies give a Cretaceous date.[12][13] Furthermore, remains of a non-pterodactyloid from the Candeleros Formation extend the presence of basal pterosaurs into at least the early Late Cretaceous.[14]
