Normannognathus (meaning "Normandy jaw") was a genus of dsungaripteroid pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Kimmeridgian-age Upper Jurassic Argiles d'Ecqueville of Octeville-sur-Mer, Seine-Maritime, Haute-Normandie, France. It is based on Musée Géologique Cantonal de Lausanne 59'583, the front portion of a skull and lower jaws, and is distinguished by tooth count (5 per premaxilla, 9 or more per maxilla, and 14 per dentary) and the presence of a tall bony crest running down the midline of the upper jaw and having a concave leading margin. This crest is like that of Dsungaripterus, and larger than that in Germanodactylus.^[1]
