Front tooth of a pterosaur, called Siroccopterix moroccensis, measures 4 cm. Comes with box and description.
The pterosaur (from the Greek ptero, 'wing', and sauros, 'lizard') was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur.
It existed during the Mesozoic Era, which began about 230 million years ago and lasted until 65 million years ago.
There were about 60 different types, and they did not have feathers. Their wings were thin membranes of skin, similar to those of bats, that extended along the sides of their bodies from their knees to their arms. They were attached to the fourth finger of each hand, which was very long.
