It is important because it is 65 million years older than any other known [[desert]]-dwelling pterosaur. Also, it shows that the earliest pterosaurs were morphologically and ecologically varied. The [[Dimorphodon]]tidae originated in the [[Triassic]] period.<ref>Britt, Brooks B. ''et al'' 2018. ''Caelestiventus hanseni'' extends the desert-dwelling pterosaur record back 65 million years.
