The pterosaurs dentition rests in the Upper Cretaceous in North Africa are relatively common among the fauna which got preserved from those ecosystems around 100 million years ago

06290 - Nice Polished Section NWA Unclassified L-H Type Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite 17.0g Dyrosaurus phosphaticus - Dirqadim Gaffney et alThese meteorites were found in the Saharan Desert in Northwest Africa, likely by nomads. In order to classify them it would be necessary to cut off a section for analysis. Although they are exceedingly rare when compared to terrestrial rocks, these are the most abundant type of meteorite and are referred to as common chondrites. H and L (designating the amount of metal contained) type chondrites have been already extensively studied. Composed largely
