LOT 1881 - Out of this world - Koller Auctions Zurich, June 28, 2022
Interview with Swiss Dinosaur expert Dr. h. c. Hans-Jakob Siber

What a breathtaking sight it must have been when these incredible creatures rose into the air. The huge leathery wings helped them to skilfully use the lift in the air above the sea.

The specimen presented here is in fantastic condition with over 70% of the original bone material showing. The skull is measuring an impressive 123 cm. On the skeleton, the right wing is almost completely original, except for some small bone fragments. Large parts of the beak and the neck also are original, as well as the legs. The accompanying sketch shows the original bones (in red) and the reconstructed parts.

The skeleton comes in six, easy to assemble parts.

Estimate: CHF 120'000 / 200'000
