AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific name: Unidentified Azhdarchid Pterosaur limb bone - Potencial Ulna
Location: Taouz, Errachidia Province, South Morocco
Geological Formation: Ifezouane Fm - Red Sandstone Beds
Age: Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian stage ( 96 million years)
Size: 17,7 cm
REF.: #J1011
DESCRIPTION:
Observations: Azhdarchidae pterosaur family – Possible Ulna
This fossil bone is tentatively attributed to a pterosaur belonging to the family Azhdarchidae. Based on its overall morphology, the specimen appears to represent an ulna.
The bone is relatively well preserved; however, part of the distal epiphysis has been reconstructed. Due to this reconstruction and the absence of certain original anatomical features, a definitive identification of the skeletal element cannot be established with complete certainty.
Nevertheless, its morphological characteristics strongly suggest that the specimen belongs to a pterosaur of the family Azhdarchidae.
Its morphology resembles very much that of the Azhdarchid pterosaurs. Two genus of Azhdarchid pterosaurs have been described from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian stage) of South Morocco. One of them, the genus Alanqa and the other the genus Xericeps, along few others. This specimen is something unique and worthy of study and comparison to similar remains already published. High scientific value.
All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our database verification system on our website. If you find that your certificate has not yet been updated, please contact us and we will update it immediately. Display box not included.
Seller's Story
Jurassic Dreams is the world's largest online dinosaur fossils store, unrivaled as the most reputable source for authentic fossil specimens. We are the only leading online fossils store owned by an accredited geologist and paleontology expert. In addition, we have extraordinary authentic meteorites specimens from all over the universe.
With dozens of different specimens in stock... our customers come back time and again. Because, simply put, our lifetime guarantee is unbeatable.
My name is Juan A. Poblador and I have a strong academic background in Paleontology and Geology from the University of Madrid and University of Alicante. I have participated in fossil excavation projects in several locations mainly in Europe and Africa for over 10 years. Writing scientifically accurate descriptions of every specimen is one of the tasks that consume most of my time. Obviously, recognizing fake and restored fossils is second nature to me. So you can be sure that every fossil in this website has been carefully screened and inspected by me.
I have served collectors and fossil enthusiasts over the years. I have also supplied museums and institutions. I combine the study and research of significant specimens with exhibiting and selling the many other finds, which helps fund the new expeditions.
Additionally, I have a small team of support staff for logistics. I've personally trained them to handle and pack the fossils properly so that they can be shipped within 24 hours and arrive at your door in one piece.
Last but not least, I'm fortunate to have a great network of other seasoned paleontologists with whom I discuss the rarest items, new discoveries, and exploration trips to remote quarries... If I don't know something, the paleontological community really helps out.
I like to manage Jurassic Dreams as a well curated online exhibition of museum grade pieces. I'm a collector myself and I love to share the knowledge with other fellow collectors. That's why I will respond to any email when you have any doubt or when you buy, and you'll have a personalized fossil selection experience.
