Please offer any comments as to the ID of this piece. It was acquired years ago from Poland; but it was reportedly quarried at a Cretaceous site, Goulmima, Morocco. The matrix proved to be far too hard for the low powered tools I utilize for prep; so the piece languished in the garage for years. Finally it was shipped to Kris in Tx. Below is the account of his prep travail. As stated, it was labeled "Plesiosaurus, Cretaceous, Goulmima, Morocco." Any conformation or condemnation will be appreciated. I have real trouble visualizing the relationship between the appearance of the "front" and the "back" of the piece. To my eye it is almost as if the "back" represents the imprint of a different string of verts?!? Here is the display side that finally emerged. Here is the "back" side which was partially visible when the piece was received. Thanks for any observations.

I'm looking for a little advice on a nice group of trilobites I purchased recently. I have no information on them, aside from that they came from Morocco, however after a bit of research I'm wondering if they're Hamatolenus from the Jbel Wawrmast Formation. With that said I don't know a whole lot about Moroccan trilobites and I have some questions as to their authenticity. I'm almost 100% sure these are real, but after studying them closely a few things bother me. For one, the smallest trilobite at the bottom has a hole beneath it - I can't really tell if it's been reattached or not. The surrounding rock also features a few tiny holes which I found suspicious (I'll add further pictures shortly). The whole piece also has a clay-like smell. With that said the edges of the plate are clean cut and seem to show natural rock layers, which I wouldn't imagine you'd see with a fake. Overall I can't imagine how something like this would be faked (and I wouldn't imagine it'd be worth the effort for the price I paid). But any input would be greatly appreciated as I know lots you are far more knowledgeable about Moroccan trilobites than myself!

A new Azhdarchoid Pterosaur has been described from the Kem Kem Beds in Morocco. Unfortunately i can only link access to the abstract not the full paper. Anyway the new Pterosaur is named Apatorhamphus gyrostega and the researchers believe it to most likely be a Chaoyangopterid Pterosaur based on a partial rostrum. This is the third Azhdarchoid named from the Kem Kem (along with Alanqa & Xericeps). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019566711930374X?via%3Dihub

Ciao, puoi classificarmi questi denti di squalo, sono fossili delle cave di fosfato di Oued-Zem in Marocco, grazie. (Hi, can you classify for me these shark teeth, they are fossils from the phosphate quarries of Oued-Zem in Morocco, thanks.)

I believe this specimen was collected in the Fezouata Deposit. I am hoping someone on the forum might know what species it might be.

This Cambropallas trilobite looks pretty good to me, but curious if anyone sees any restoration I may be missing. Is this all natural? Thanks!

This bone was purchased a while ago from a Moroccan dealer. Could come from the Kem Kem beds although I have not found the typical attachment of sediment to this bone, therefore my doubt about the origin. According to the dealer it is from a dinosaur. Can anyone confirm this?

Trilobide geode, bought in Morocco from a street vendor. I tend to assume it's real, because nobody would wish to work on a fake for such little money - but I will accept your expert judgement. Size about 6x4cm. If real, what is it?

Real or fake mosasaur fossil
Wildside532 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey guys I bought this at a flea market and I’m wondering if it’s real or fake. He said it was from Morocco and a mosasaur matrix. It’s 2 feet long by 1 foot wide and 6 inches thick. Is it real and is it a mosasaur?- 10 replies

Just wanted to share one of my favorite Moroccan trilobite plates. There are two trilobites on this plate and it came with both the positive and negative halfs. These are Cambropallas telesto from the Cambrian age. The actual trilobites measure 3.9 and 3.6 inches. They were found at Toughach, Alnif, Morocco. The plates were cracked but there is no restoration. Hope you enjoy.

Well, i did hear a while ago that Morocco were thinking of becoming more serious on their 'cultural heritage' laws. I hope this is just an isolated case from the Spanish side and not the beginning of a trend. https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2020/01/291089/spanish-airport-moroccan-fossils/

Hi all, i want to buy that Cambropallas Telesto. It seems a good specimen, i can see rock cracks passing thru the trilo so is a good sign. But i'm not sure about the entire specimen, in particular in the black areas in the back. Seems that the "shell" have been eroded. What do you think? Thank you
