Dawndraco is known from only one partial skeleton, including an almost complete skull and lower jaws.1 2

Its snout did not taper like in other pteranodonts; the upper and lower edges ran almost parallel.1 2

The name Dawndraco combines the Iroquois dawn goddess with the Latin word for dragon.1 2

The species name kanzai honors the Kanza (Kaw) tribe, after which Kansas is named.1 2

Dawndraco lived about 86 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1 2

The fossil was found in the Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Formation, which was once the floor of a shallow sea.1 2
