Cascocauda (meaning "ancient tail") is an extinct genus of anurognathid pterosaur from the Late–⁠Middle Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Hebei Province, China. The genus contains a single species, C. rong, known from a complete skeleton belonging to a juvenile individual preserved with extensive soft-tissues, including wing membranes and a dense covering of pycnofibres. Some of these pycnofibres appear to be branched, resembling the feathers of maniraptoran theropod dinosaurs, and suggesting that pterosaur pycnofibres may be closely related to feathers in dinosaurs.

  • Cascocauda (il cui nome significa "coda antica") è un genere estinto di pterosauro anurognatide vissuto nel Giurassico medio-superiore, circa 165-160 milioni di anni fa (Calloviano-Oxfordiano), in quella che oggi è la Formazione Tiaojishan ⁠di Hebei, Cina. Il genere contiene una singola specie, C. rong, nota da uno scheletro completo appartenente a un individuo giovane conservato con estesi tessuti molli, comprese le membrane alari e una densa copertura di picnofibre. Alcune di queste picnofibre sembrano essere ramificate, simili alle piume dei dinosauri teropodi maniraptori e suggeriscono che le picnofibre degli pterosauri potrebbero essere strettamente correlate alle piume dei dinosauri e, per estensione, degli uccelli.
