Button? Any info? And a Dinosaur

[mastereagle22]

Found this button in an area that has been around since 1793. It appears to be old. The only marking is either a 1 or I on the back between the button holes. Is this an old button? It is heavy, non-magnetic and I have used the dime as a size reference. Any info would be appreciated. Also should I notify the local historic society about the dinosaur find? (lol)

Could be a lead hem weight...

Appears to be a rare species. Dinobutton would be a good name for it.

Probably aluminum or pewter button. I'd guess turn of the century.

It's too heavy to be aluminum, it does look more like pewter to me. So it is probably old??

The Dinosaur appears to be a pterodactyl....Name's meaning: "Winged finger"

Pronounciation: ter-u-Dak-til

Physical Description:
A Pterodactyl had a wingspan of anywhere between a few inches up to over 40 feet long. Pterodactyls are believed to have flown long distances using large wings and they had above average eyesight to help them catch their prey. Paleontologist classify Pterodactyls as flying reptiles and not dinosaurs.

Young Earth Age:
Alive sometime in the last 6000 years.

Old Earth Age:
According to old earth scientists, Pterodactyls lived in the late Mesozoic period, about 251 to 65 million years ago

Diet:
It was a carnivore (meat eating creature).

Fossil locations:
Pterodactyl fossils have been found in America, Europe, Africa, and Australia.

If so then it is a Chinese Pterodactyl cause it says so on the bottom, made in China!!!! I am not making fun of you. I found your response amusing. Thanks

It must be some weird sort of ID tag the Dinosaur is forced to wear on his bottom side. I think this is outlawed for American Dinosaurs.......Poor lil fella!!! Prolly one of those sweat shop Dino's.....only makes like 2 dollars a day for working in some messed up factory........sigh
