Summary
| Description |
Cast of a fossil Pterodactylus antiquus. On display as part of the exhibit "Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs" at the Cleveland Natural History Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. This animal died on soft mud, which quickly covered the corpse. When the rock was cracked open, the skeleton was left in the lower half of the rock while an impression of the skin and feathers was left in the upper half. This is the lower part with the skeleton. This fossil was found in the Solnhofen limestone of Bavaria, Germany. It dates to about 150 million years ago, and is held by the Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Geology. |
