Aralazhdarcho is known from only a few bones, including a neck vertebra and part of a wing finger.1
It lived during the Santonian to early Campanian ages of the Late Cretaceous, about 85 to 72 million years ago.14
The name Aralazhdarcho combines the Aral Sea and the related pterosaur Azhdarcho.1
Some scientists think that another pterosaur called Samrukia might actually be the same as Aralazhdarcho.1
Aralazhdarcho was toothless, like other azhdarchid pterosaurs.1
