Show us your Pterosaurs material

[Bobby Rico]

I don't have a good ID but it was given to me a couple of years ago. 

Pterosaure Morocco .    21mm in length.

On of the two toothed pterosaurs from the Kem Kem beds.

It's either Siroccopteryx moroccensis or Coloborhynchus fluviferox. So far no way to tell which species these teeth belong too. Best labeled Ornithocheirid indet.

Nice tooth and a cool addition to your collection.

 

Edit: Does it just look like it or is this tooth facetted?

It is hard to say really but maybe nere the base has some. 

 

Thank you and for your info much appreciated. Cheers Bobby

@gigantoraptor same goes for this one in my collection then I’m guessing (Moroccan)

Yes, It's an Ornithocheirid indet. from the Kem Kem beds. At first I tough yours had massive serrations but I guess it's because of the pixels in the picture. Nice tooth.

 I just rushed to edit it, sorry about. Thanks for your two cents

I looked again at the tooth, and the longer I look, the less I think this is actually a pterosaur tooth. 

I have some questions about the tooth. If you find the time you might give the tooth another look.

- Are there any vertical ridges, typical for pterosaur teeth from this area?

-How does the base look, oval or round?

- Is it faceted?

If there aren't any ridges (I don't see them on the photo) and the base is round rather than oval and it's faceted, it's not a pterosaur, but probably one of the many crocodile species described in this area.

I thought that was a common indication but maybe I need to do an Idea post. It broken at the base making it hard to tell but it looks slightly oval to me. Thanks

Hi all

just made a stand for my pterosaurs tooth. It was a challenge as it is small but looks good I think.

I have a pteranodon femur in my collection (Niobrara Fm. in Kansas, USA). The small bone is a metatarsal I think.

Wow I would be very proud of this one for sure . Thank you

Here's one of my favorite Pteranodon pieces I've collected from the Smoky Hill Chalk. This is a scapulocoracoid and a cervical vertebra. This specimen also has some additional dorsal vertebrae.

Here's another sweet specimen from fall 2018. I found this one with a flashlight while I was out camping in the fossil beds one night. Pteranodon 4th metacarpal. I usually prefer to keep them in the chalk if possible, less potential for damage during prep/removal, retains more info about the sediment/deposition and I think it looks cooler.

This one is part of a larger Pteranodon wing specimen. It's the 4th phalanx of metacarpal IV. Shows the slight curvature at the end of the wing but not as dramatically curved as seen on some reconstructions.

Wow beautiful specimens. That must have been one night you was happy you could not sleep .   I prefer the look of a specimens in its matrix. Thank you for adding to my thread.

Some pretty cool stuff @KansasFossilHunter!

 

I was able to find some pteroaur stuff too in the last weeks. 

Firstly a worn 6 cm long flight phalanx:

 

 

Another phalanx I guess with a length of 11 cm:

 

 

And my best find:

 

 

A humerus and some other pteroaaur bones!

 

 

 

 

All finds are from the lower Jurassic from Holzmaden (Germany)

Kind of looks like it recurves slightly near the base, which makes me think fish rather than pterosaur? (Hopefully I’m wrong, just curious)

I'm not sure in fact. The identification of this type of material in Portugal is allways a little complicated.

 

For me looks like very identical to pterosaur teeth I already seen.

 

For me It looks like the tooth Troodon posted here but I apreciate If somebody can help me in this identification

Always difficult.  Where was it found?   Do you have more photos?

It's from Lourinhã. No, I have to take more.

Since Ive posted that tooth I have more questions than answers.

Not much is published and the only suggested Pterosaur from there Rhamphorhynchus sp but those teeth are not S shaped like yours and mine.  So I don't know, they can be fish but again nothing is published other than Gar being present.
