Nyctosaurus is the smaller and less-famous pterosaur of the Niobrara Chalk. It had a wingspan of just under 2 meters as opposed to Pteranodon which had a wingspan of 3-6 meters. Nyctosaurus specimens rarely reach the market because they are hardly ever found. We’ve picked up a small collection of pieces of this animal. Get ’em before they fly out the door.
