The founding member of the small pterosaur family Nyctosauridae, Nyctosaurus is often seen as a contemporary of the more famous and somewhat similar genus Pteranodon.
They are also related, being members of the much larger group Ornithocheiroidea. They are both present in the Niobrara Formation of Kansas, with Nyctosaurus living through a small part of the late Santonian Stage of the Late Cretaceous, about 85 million years ago. It was short-lived unlike its relative.
We also know that Nyctosaurus had a gigantic crest, far larger than its entire body. It was a thin, bony antler-like structure up to 55 centimeters tall with a backward-pointing spar in the middle. 3D Model is ready to download for free, this model contains 4774 polygons.
