Eopteranodon had no teeth. Its beak was like a modern bird's, but it was a reptile, not a bird.1

Its skull was less than 200 millimeters long (7.9 inches), smaller than a human hand.1

Eopteranodon belonged to the Tapejaridae family, a group of pterosaurs with big head crests and downturned snouts.1 2

The first fossil of Eopteranodon was found in 2005 in Liaoning, China, a region famous for many amazing pterosaur and dinosaur fossils.1

A second species, Eopteranodon yixianensis, was named in 2023, but some scientists think it might not be a separate species.1 2

Eopteranodon lived about 125 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.2
