Extremadamente raro Alanqa saharica Cretácico Azhdarchid Pterosaurio Mandíbula dentaria Hueso - Diente fósil

This is one of the most unique and extraordinary specimens of our Pterosaurs collection. It is the dentary bone of a strange and little-known pterosaur species of the North African Cretaceous. Its morphology resembles very much that of the dentition rests published by Ibrahim et al. (2010), where a new genus and species of Pterosaur belonging to the Azhdarchidae family is described.

This new and recent species is only known by a few rests, mainly belonging to the mandibular symphysis. This new taxon is distinguished from other azhdarchids by a remarkably straight, elongate, lance-shaped mandibular symphysis that bears a pronounced dorsal eminence near the posterior end of its dorsal (occlusal) surface.
