Pterodactylus baby, rare flying reptile fossil

This is a partial skeleton of a pterodactyl Pterodactylus kochi. The find comes from the Upper Jurassic 
of Eichstaett in Germany (world famous Solnhofen-region).

Finds of fossil reptiles - especially those of pterosaurs - are extremely rare in the German limestone 
and therefore highly sought after by collectors and museums.

The exhibit offered here shows the lower half of a juvenile pterodactyl animal with the feet, legs, the 
pelvic region, the thorax with spine and ribs and both wing tips.

Interesting: The piece has soft tissue preservation, the body outline is clearly raised in the abdominal 
region.

The fossil measures approximately 5.7 x 2.4 cm. The stone is unbroken with a size of approximately 
20 x 17 x 1 cm.

This piece is a rarely offered top rarity!
