1997年,业余古生物学家翁贝托·韦尼尔(Umberto Venier)在席札溪(Seazza brook)河床的一块巨石中发现翼龙骨骼,此地点正位于多洛米蒂山普雷奥内附近该河与塔利亚门托河的交汇处之前。韦尼尔将该发现带往乌迪内的弗留利自然历史博物馆(Museo Friulano di Storia Naturale)。古生物学家法比奥·马克·达拉维奇亚(Fabio Marco Dalla Vecchia)在经部分清修过后于科学文献中宣布此发现。[1]达拉维奇亚于2003年将此标本归入真双型齿翼龙。[2]然而到了2009年,进一步清修使他得出结论称其代表科学意义上的新物种,与真双型齿翼龙或卡尼亚翼龙均不相同。[3]
