Pteranodon longiceps
"Complete pterosaur wing with shoulder girdle" RARE wing, with scapula-coracoid, from a Cretaceous pterosaur, on matrix, 81" long (straight line) x 16" at its widest point. Overall length of the COMPLETE wing is 80" along curvature. Bone preservation and detail is superb!! All three claws, plus six small digits are articulated and REAL (original to the specimen and NOT restored)! This is EXTREMELY UNIQUE, as these small bones and claws are rarely discovered with the wing. Restoration is less than 1% and is limited to only one of the rarely preserved tendons. All points of articulation are dimensional and well-defined. A pterosaur of this size would have had an overall wing spread of approximately 14 1/2 feet. To maintain strength and durability of the specimen, it has been mounted on simulated matrix (3/4" thick); however, the matrix surface is covered with a very natural-looking actual chalk veneer. Specimen is very strong and durable and 100% ready for a wall mount. Hanging hardware has been installed on the back side. Awesome decorator and display specimen! Stock #4179
