What the name means
The generic name is derived from radio, the prefix for radioactivity in reference to the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, where SMU 72547 was discovered during the construction of an emergency spillway, and dactylos, meaning "finger" in Ancient Greek which is a traditional suffix for pterosaur genera in reference to their elongate wing digits.
