DESCRIPTION:
This is one of the most unique and extraordinary specimens of our Pterosaurs collection. It is the metacarpal bone of a strange and little-known pterosaur species of the North African Cretaceous. This type of fossils are extremely rare.
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. This specimen is something unique and worthy of study and comparison to similar remains already published. High scientific value.
It has some fractures that have been glued and filled. Although his restorations are really few, irrelevant. It is almost the complete metacarpal lacking the proximal epiphysis or proximal end.
All our fossils comes with Certificate of Authenticity.
