Aurorazhdarcho had a wingspan of about 1.1 metres (3.6 feet), making it one of the smaller pterosaurs.1

Its head and neck are known only from impressions, because a predator almost ripped them off before the body sank.1

The fossil was found in 1999 by amateur paleontologist Peter Kaszmekat in a quarry near Eichstätt, Germany.1

It had up to 18 long, curved teeth on each side of its jaws, which interlocked to form a basket for catching food.1

Scientists think it may have fed like a spoonbill, wading with its jaws open and snapping shut on prey.1

The type specimen was probably a male, because its pelvis bones were fused in a way that suggests it lacked a wide birth canal.1
