Abstract
Pterosaurs were hitherto represented in the abundant and varied Late Campanian–Early Maastrichtian vertebrate assemblages of southern France by very scanty remains, which did not allow an identification at the family level. An incomplete cervical vertebra from a locality of that age at Cruzy (Hérault, southern France) is described and identified as belonging to an azhdarchid pterosaur with an estimated wingspan of about 3 m.
