Even though Pteranodon were pterosaurs, not dinosaurs, Pteranodon are frequently associated with dinosaurs.
Unlike earlier pterosaurs, Pteranodon had toothless beaks, similar to those of birds. Pteranodon beaks were made of solid, bony margins that projected from the base of the jaws. The beaks were long, slender, and ended in thin, sharp points. The upper jaw was longer than the lower jaw. The upper jaw was curved upward.

Pteranodon's wing-span is longer than that of any known bird
