About

The pteranodon, one of the dramatic pieces in our field collection, was prepared for us by Triebold Paleontology. The fossil for this Pteranodon was almost complete, but was disarticulated and had been crushed significantly. The fossil material was analyzed and then a model was sculpted by David Peters. There is a possibility that some of these animals could still live in New Guinea. There have been many sightings of flying animals in that area of the world that seem to be pteranodon like.
