Manuel Quiring

Scientific name: Unidentified Pterosaur species - Claw

Location: Taouz, South Morocco

Geological Formation:  Ifezouane Fm

Age: Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian stage (96 Million Years)

Size: 4,9cm 

REF.: 20021


DESCRIPTION: 

The genus, to which they belong, is somewhat complicated to ascertain. In this area of ​​North Africa have been described remains mainly belonging to two families; Anhangueridae and Azharchidae.

Diagnostic characteristics of pterosaur claws:

-Symmetrical vein grooves

-The bottom of the digit claw is flat.

-The bend at the end of the tip is a specific trait of Pterosaur claws: The tip shows a thin flange or ridge of bone on the very tip on the ventral edge. It could be considered an adaptation for the best grip when perching on steep surfaces. That flange aids in hooking on cliffs.

Observations: It nicely shows the typical features corresponding with the pterosaurs. It only has one glued and tiny filled fracture.

All our fossils comes with Certificate of Authenticity.
