Geosternbergia was among the largest pterosaurs, with the wingspan of most adults ranging between 3 to 6 meters (9.8 to 19.7 ft).
No complete skulls of adult males have been found, but a nearly complete lower jaw has been estimated at 1.25 meters (4.1 ft) long.
While most specimens are found crushed, enough fossils exist to put together a detailed description of the animal.
Geosternbergia sternbergi was very similar to the more well-known pterosaur species Pteranodon longiceps and is often considered simply an earlier species of Pteranodon itself.
It is different from Pteranodon mainly due to its earlier time period and broader, more upright crest.
