CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PTEROSAURS
Pterosaur fossils were only recently attributed to a species in 1999 from the Cretaceous deposits of the southern region of Morocco. To date, the only pterosaur species named from Morocco is Siroccopteryx moroccoensis. With an estimated wingspan of nearly 20 feet, this anhanguerid ranks amongst the largest pterosaurs known. There have been comparisons of this creature to other anhanguerid species known from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil. Only jaw fragments and teeth have been discovered from Morocco and much has yet to be learned about this fascinating and giant flying reptile from prehistory.
This tooth is from the flying prehistoric reptile, Siroccopteryx. The tooth has excellent enamel with natural luster. Minor repair and tiny part of tip loss but otherwise nice. A large yet, affordable, genuine example.
