Kongonaphon is an early member of the dinosaur–pterosaur clade Ornithodira. It is a small reptile-type fossil found in the  Middle to Late Triassic of Madagascar. It was probably an insectivore, based on the shape and texture of its teeth. "Kongonaphon" is notable for its tiny size, even compared to other small early avemetatarsalia. The femur was only about 4 cm (1.6 inches) long, and the total height of the animal was about 10 cm (3.9 inches).  It has long been thought that early members of the group were small.
