Kansas Late Cretaceous Fossilized Pterodactyl Wing
Product Description
North America, Gove County, Kansas, Niobrara Formation Smoky Chalk, Late Cretaceous Period, ca. 80 to 65.5 million years ago. A beautiful pterodactyl wing from Pteranodon longiceps, displayed with 16 bones articulated in a frame. If unfurled, the wing would be nearly 4 feet long! The pteriod (bone found only in pterosaurs, connecting the wrist to support the propatagium, the membrane structure of the wing) and all 4 phalanxes (wing finger) are present.
The fossils are embedded in the matrix, and the matrix and the fossils have all been painted with a stabilizing coat. Professionally prepared with some small areas of restoration and some small losses; the fossil appears to be about 80-90% original material.
