What's the difference between Pterosaur, Pterodactyl and Pterodon?
Pterosaur is the name of the group, it contains all genera like Pteranodon, Pterodactylus, Quetzalcoatlus, Dimorphodon, etc... Pterodactyl is an ambiguous term. It can either designate the group Pterodactyloidea, which includes (to simplify) tail-less pterosaurs from the Cretaceous, or either designate the genus Pterodactylus. Pteranodon (I think that's what you meant when you wrote Pterodon) is a genus of pterosaur. I hope it was clear, if not, don't hesitate to ask! More on reddit.com
