Hello,

 

Like some of you knows I'am a portuguese collector who also collaborates with the Lourinha museum. In 2018 I found a pterosaur jaw and I donated to the museum and that fossil this year originated a new specie. The 𝑳𝒖𝒔𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒂.

The jaw I found:

I saw the news reports of this discovery when they were first being published, but I had no idea it was you who found the specimen! Congratulations on an exceptional find, gotta love pterosaur material! Ctenochasmatids are particularly fascinating.

You need to get the badge "PaleoPartner", this is really really worth to get it!
