SPECIES Probably Alcione sp - Nyctosaurid pterosaur - Limb Bone
AGE Upper Cretaceous, Maastrichtian stage, (~66 Million Years)
LOCATION Oued Zem, Morocco
FORMATION Ouled Abdoun Basin (Phosphate beds)
SIZE 24cm

Extremely rare specimen. It is the bone of a limb of a type of huge pterosaur from the Upper Cretaceous. It probably belongs to the Nyctosauridae family, and its morphology seems to correspond to the genus Alcione sp. It comes from the Upper Cretaceous phosphates of the Oued Zem Basin. The bone is fragmented into two sectors. The customer who buys it will receive it without gluing, in two parts due to its fragility. It is interesting to observe its characteristic hollow bone, typical of pterosaurs. It has several fractures that have been glued and restored using the filling method.
