Ornithostoma was once considered to identical to Pteranodon, although modern thinking has it recognised as its own genus. Unfortunately Ornithostoma has suffered from the wastebasket effect with numerous poorly preserved remains being attributed to it.
Although not much is known for certain, the toothless beak of Ornithostoma likely indicates a fish eating piscivorous lifestyle. This notion is reinforced by the fact the Cambridge Greensand is a marine deposit.
