Its morphology resembles very much that of the Azhdarchid pterosaurs. Two genus of Azhdarchid pterosaurs have been described from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian stage) of South Morocco.
One of them, the genus Alanqa and the other the genus Xericeps. This specimen is something unique and worthy of study and comparison to similar remains already published. High scientific value.
