SUPERB And Super Rare Pterosaur Skull Jaw Fossil With Two Teeth Kem Kem Morocco For Sale

This specimen is one of the highlights of my collection. It is from the famous Kem Kem fossil beds in Morocco and dates to approximately 95 million years old. Pterosaur fossils are incredibly rare and coveted because they had hollow bones like birds and therefore did not tend to fossilize very well. This specimen is gorgeous and even has two teeth! Siroccopteryx moroccensis is a Late Cretaceous pterosaur whose fossils are found in Morocco. It would have been one of the largest pterosaurs with a wingspan of around 12-15 feet (4-5 meters). This animal was likely a specialized glider, and ventured into the sea off the coast of Africa to capture fishes and other prey that swam near the surface. Siroccopteryx had a unique dental pattern. The front two teeth were flattened and stuck straight out of the front of the jaw. The next three sets of teeth were curved and stuck out to the side of the jaw. The last two pairs of teeth stuck straight out of the jaw. This arrangement was probably to help the Pterosaur to catch the fish it fed on.

Included in the sale is the glass-faced presentation box. Let me know if there are any questions I can answer. Don’t miss out on this one of a kind opportunity. If you want it, act fast because this specimen is also for sale at a high end rock and mineral store in NYC.
