Ruth Garrido Vila

Pterosaur
Pterodactylus Kochi 
ex Phillips Auctions 
ex Marcia & John Friede Coll., USA
Solnhofen, Germany 
Late Jurassic period 
150 to 148 million years

To say that this is a rare object is a massive understatement.    Pterosaurs had hollow bones, so their conservation (especially in this condition) is an exceedingly rare event
Invoice from 1996 enclosed and they haven't made any new ones since then.  

A truly world class opportunity. 

Shipped by Fedex in an oversized double box.   Pick up is also available in Montreal, Canada (naturally)
