The first fossils of Pteranodon sternbergi were collected by American paleontologist George F. Sternberg in 1952 from the lower portion of the Niobrara Formation.The fossils of the animal looked similar to those of the species Pteranodon longiceps, but the crests were set upright and in a slightly different position.
The Jenrich brothers, aided by George F. Sternberg and a local cow rancher named Jim Rouse, exhumed the skull later that year. Although initially thinking the specimen would be a mosasaur, G. F. Sternberg later identified it as an imposing specimen of B. lucasi, placing the skull and mandible on a single support showing only their dorsal sides.

In particular, one 4.2 metres (14 ft) fossil "Fish-Within-A-Fish" specimen was collected by George F. Sternberg with another, nearly perfectly preserved 1.9 metres (6.2 ft) long ichthyodectid Gillicus arcuatus inside of it. The larger fish apparently died soon after eating its prey, most likely owing to the smaller prey's struggling and ...
