Nyctosaurus isn't known from anywhere near the K-T boundary as far as I can 
remember (it's coeval with Pteranodon). For pterosaurs closer to the K-T 
boundary, you might try azhdarchids such as Quetzalcoatlus and 
Arambourgiania, though these genera aren't known from New Jersey. I think 
Donald Baird had a big indeterminate azhdarchid specimen from the East Coast 
at one time.
