Whoa, lookit those shoulders! Looks a little like Quetzalcoatlus in miniature.

So is this "Mosquizopteryx" or "Muzquizopteryx"?
:iconarchosaurian:
You mean "nyctosaurid," "nyctopterus" is John Conway's online alias.

Looks good! But the skull is somewhat different fron what I have come up with.

Wha-? Where? When? How come I've never heard or seen anything about it until now?

Nice work, and oh my, it really is quite small, odd when you consider that Nyctosaurus was medium-sized. Perhaps it is a youngster or hatchling? *shrugs*

And it's from the Late Cretaceous, I presume?
:iconhairen:
Forget what I said. Just searched and found the paper. An adult nyctosaurid with a 2 metre wingspan; not that small after all.
:icontitossauro:
Good. Did this pterosaur come from the pterodactil family?
:icondracontes:
Nyctosaurid. You can say it's closely related to Pteranodon.
