Leptostomia was a tiny pterosaur with a very long, thin beak. It used its beak like a straw to poke into mud and grab worms or bugs. It lived in what is now Morocco, near rivers and mangroves.1 2

Fatgs divertents

Leptostomia is known from only two beak fragments, one upper and one lower jaw.1

Its beak was flattened from top to bottom, which is different from any other known pterosaur.1 2

Scientists think Leptostomia used its beak like a kiwi bird or a curlew to probe for food in mud.1 2

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

?How big was Leptostomia?

Leptostomia was very small. Its complete skull was only about 6 to 20 centimeters (2.4 to 7.9 inches) long.1

?What did Leptostomia eat?

Leptostomia probably ate small invertebrates like worms, crabs, and molluscs. It used its long, flat beak to probe into mud, just like a kiwi bird does.1 3

?When did Leptostomia live?

Leptostomia lived during the Cretaceous period, about 100 to 94 million years ago.1

?Where was Leptostomia found?

Leptostomia fossils were found in Morocco, near the town of Hassi El Begaa. They came from the Kem Kem Beds, which were once a river system with mangroves and tidal flats.1
