==Description==
''C. spielbergi'' was a large species originally based on RGM 401 880, a fossil specimen known from a nearly complete skull and parts of the skeleton currently housed in the ] in the ].

Like other species assigned to the genus '']'', ''C. spielbergi'' bore large, rounded crests at the ends of expanded upper and lower jaws. However, rather than being robust and box-shaped as in many ''Coloborhynchus'' species, the jaw tips were more slender and spoon-shaped, as in species typically referred to '']'', a genus in which ''C. speilbergi'' is classified by some researchers (as ''A. spielbergi''). As in other ornithocheirids, the size and orientation of the teeth vary considerably along the jawline. In ''C. spielbergi'', the tooth pattern has been described as more similar to that of '']'' than to '']''.<ref name=AJV2006>Veldmeijer, A.J., H.J.M. Meijer, and M. Signore (2006).
