This genus is also notable for having a low bony crest running all the way to the tip of the beak (pterosaur bone crests usually do not reach the tip) and for being the oldest known Morrison Formation pterosaur, having been found in the Salt Wash Member (Kimmeridgian).
This genus stands out due to its unique characteristic of a low bony ridge that runs along the entire length of the beak, and it is also significant because it represents the oldest known pterosaur discovered in the Morrison Formation's Salt Wash Member, dating back to the Kimmeridgian period.
