Datos curiosos
Leptostomia is known from only two beak fragments, one upper and one lower jaw.1
Scientists think Leptostomia used its beak like a kiwi bird or a curlew to probe for food in mud.12
Leptostomia lived about 100 to 94 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period.4
It was much smaller than many other pterosaurs that lived at the same time.1
The fossils were found in the Kem Kem Beds, which were once a river system with mangroves and tidal flats.1
