20418 - Great Collection of 2 Pterosaur (Coloborhynchus) Teeth Cretaceous KemKem Beds Quartz Schreibersite abundant occurring as cm-sized

Schreibersite abundant occurring as cm-sized skeletal crystals at the centers of kamacite crystals

Impressive association

It has small fractures that have been glued but no restored or fabricated at the lower part of the tooth

The details of the anatomy of the superficial osseous structure of the root are extremely well preserved
