    KemKem Basin Dinosaur Vertebra.

    Hello everyone, I am trying to identify a dinosaur vertebra that comes from the KemKem basins in Morocco. Can you help me ?
  3. The transcription of the Arab terms and names is often ambiguous. In the literature, the locality is called both Ain el Kerma and Ain Karma. Different spellings can also be found for Jebel Tselfat and Jbel Tselfat. Taxonomy from Encyclopedia of Life, EOL for short. Diagnosis according to Pictet and Humbert 1866, (translated from French by oilshale): "Elongated head, ending in a long beak similar to that of Belone. Small skeleton, composed of numerous vertebrae. Short dorsal fin, a little behind the middle of the body and slightly behind the ventrals; pectoral fins that are rather large; short anal fin that is close to the tail; tail divided into two lobes. Very poorly preserved scales." Rhinellus Agassiz, 1834 is regarded as preoccupied by Rhinella Fitzinger, 1826 and replaced by Ichthyotringa. Line drawing: Originally identified by Dr. N. Micklich (Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt - HLMD) as Rhinellus cf. furcatus (now Ichthyotringa furcata). References: Agassiz, L (1835). Recherches Sur Les Poissons Fossiles. Tome IV (livr. 4).

    A box with Kem Kem stuff

    I just recieved a box with a random assortment of Kem Kem fossils and I was wondering if some of you might help out with some of the ID's 1) A fish scute, Adrianaichthys (Lepidotes) pankowskii would be my guess. 2) Another Adrianaichthys (Lepidotes) pankowskii scale? 3) A small bone, turtle perhaps? 4) Crocodile osteoderm 5) Crocodile osteoderm 6) I often see similar fossil sold as Kem Kem coprolites 7) base of an Onchopristis numides rostrum tooth 8) A large fish vert, could it be Chondrichthyan like Onchopristis or probably just bony fish? 9) A fish vert? 10) Spinosaurid tooth

  6. Good evening to all participants! I have accumulated a lot of local (from Ukraine) material - I decided to sort it out, and recurring fossils, or not of interest to me, offers you an exchange. Everything in the photos is one lot. Consists of: 1. Tile from Carboniferous period with fern print; 2. A fragment of the armor of a armored fish Podolaspis Lerichei of the Devonian period; 3. Tile with Silrian brachiopods and tentaculites; 4. Mollusk of Neogene; 5. A small fragment of a fossilized araucaria of the Carboniferous period with quartzite crystals; 6. 2 fragments of orthoceras (found together with a tile with tentaculites); 7. A selection of teeth and vertebrae (most of the Cenomanian fish): 7.1. 3 Enchodus teeth (2 large ones are glued from fragments, and the largest (light) one is also smeared with a children's felt-tip pen), Cenomanian. 7.2. Ptychodus teeth (light - Cenomanian; found personally, and dark ones got by exchange); 7.3. 2 undefined teeth of the Cenomanian fish and good teeth of a shark from Malin, Zhytomyr region (by the way, dark teeth of Ptychodus are from the same place); 7.4. 2 Pycnodus teeth - Cenomanian. 7.5. - A bag of Cenomanian fish vertebrae - about 50-60 pieces. Perhaps some of this will interest you. What is interesting to me: first of all, on marine reptiles and dinosaurs, and also offhand, I am interested in the teeth of megalodon, Crinoids and ammonites. Surely I missed something - I ask you, do not hesitate to write to me in private messages - i will glad to talk. Best regards, Svetlana
  7. Hello to all forum users! Glad to join you. I would like to share photos of some of my findings. Now there is an opportunity to post only a small part - the topic will be gradually supplemented. So, the finds of marine reptiles from the Cenomanian of the Cretaceous period of Ukraine. Several photos of the crown of the Ichthyosaurus tooth.

  14. Good tides and a promising weather forecast and we were ready to go for a trip to the French coast ( Cap-Blanc-Nez) High tide was set for 8AM, so we left around that same time, getting there when the tide was starting to go down giving us a whole day of opportunities to search. First stop was the beach of the “Grand Blanc Nez” with the Turonian cliffs. Since our last visit there, there have been high tides and multiple parts of the beach were cleared of the sand. The prospection of the loose boulders revealed for me a large Mamites nodosoides and a Morrowites wingi. I was especially happy whit that last one since it is the first specimen of this species that I found. Natalie found a small belemnite , although this might not seem spectacular, it is probably the best find of the day as they are incredibly rare in the Turonian at this location. On our way back to the car Natalie found another ammonite, this time a Lewiseceras peramplum. The way back to the car then became quite hard due to the weight and sizes of those fossils. In the afternoon we went a couple of kilometers further to prospect the Cenomanian boulders on the beaches near “Petit-Blanc-Nez”. On the first few meters on the beach I found a boulder with a really nice Cunningtoniceras inerme sticking out. Further down the beach we found a few smaller ammonites, but we ended distributing those to a few starting fossil collectors that were prospecting the area. The last good find of the day was made by Natalie who found a small but exquisite nautilus fossil ( Eutrephoceras sp. ) in the Turonian boulders: to late for this one: Mamites nodosoides: Morrowites wingi : Lewesiceras peramplum: in the Cenomanian boulders: Cunningtoniceras inerme: the little nautilus: Eutrephoceras sp. : of cource the pictures of the prepped specimens will follow.

    Another Kem Kem Pterosaur

    Unbelievable pterosaur diversity in this part of North Africa. This paper describes a unique small, long-beaked pterosaur from the Kem Kem Group of Morocco. Does not appear to be named. Paywalled https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195667120303293

    Urchins from Charente

    Hi everybody, i found those pieces in A Kimmeridgian layer for the Cidaris and a Cenomanian layer for the other pieces and I'd like your opinion upon them. Kimmeridgian Cidaris : that's the fourth time I go in that place, I always found radioles but this time i come back with a piece of test. In the Cenomanian I found that urchin, I think this is a Leymariaster : This one is also an urchin according to me I think this is also the case for that piece but I'm not sure. @Coco, I did found urchins in Port des Barques, you mustn't despair, never. @caterpillar, what do you both think?

    Rudist valve?

    Hi, I wet fossil hunting in a Cenomanian site and I found this piece. I think this is a Rudist valve of Requienia but I'm not sure to be right. What do you think mates? @abyssunder @FranzBernhard? The size is a little less than the size of a hand (about 15 cm or 6 inches).

    Eurypholis boissieri PICTET 1850

    Characteristic for Eurypholis (meaning "broad scale") are the three large scales directly behind the head. References: A. S. Woodward (1901) Catalogue of Fossil Fishes in the British Museum (Natural History), Part IV 1-636. P. L. Forey, L. Yi, C. Patterson and C. E. Davis (2003) Fossil fishes from the Cenomanian (Upper Cretaceous) of Namoura, Lebanon. Journal of Systematic Palaeontology 1(4):227-330.
  19. Yesterday (Saturday, Aug. 22nd), I went fossil hunting in Ellsworth County, Kansas again for elusive Dakota Sandstone leaves and unfortunately it's mostly a bust, just like the previous trip. Despite that, I enjoyed the scenery and found some odd rocks and few fossils from new sites. A new site produced a few small plates containing woody and plant material fragments. I decided not to keep them. Closer views... Remember that interesting sandstone from the previous trip? I regretted for not taking it home so I took another opportunity and revisited the old site to get that rock! The back of this rock is quite smooth and flat, I think it would be great to have it hang up on the wall, but I'm actually not sure how I will display it. Looking at it is like reading a 3D map! It's the only object I brought home from this trip. It's peaceful out there and the views of the Smoky Hills never gets old. ...continued on the next post.
  20. Summer vacation fossil hunting week. Like each summer Natalie and I spend 1 week of our holiday for a fossil hunting trip. Usually the destination for this is the Isle of Wight, but due to the current covid situations we had to choose another location. So we went for 1 week to the French coast altering between late Cretaceous and Jurassic deposits.. Although there were no big tide or storms we still got our fair share of fossils in the boulders on the beaches and we even had a few spots of gault clay exposed where we found some nice phosphate ammonites and crustaceans. I’ll let you all enjoy the holiday pictures: Natalie found this exqusite little lobster in situ on the beach on the 1st day: ( Hoploparia longimana, Albian ( Gault clay ) ) soon joined by another specimen. Ichthyosaur vert from the Kimmeridgian: more beach: jurassic ripplemarks: Chalky ammonites in the loose boulders: Mantelliceras sp. : lower Cenomanian Cunningtoniceras inerme Mid. Cenomanian And a large one found by a local collector that we got to take back home ( Thx a lot Luc ) ( Lewesiceras peramplum, Turonian ) And a few pieces after cleanup and prepwork: Albian Ammonites from the gault clay: Gault clay crabs: a few of the chalky ammonites: a nice rare heteromorph: Turrilites scheuchzerianus mid. Cenomanian before and after prep:

    Kem Kem beds: dinosaur toe bone?

    Hello all Some time ago I got this bone from the Moroccan Kem Kem beds (Cenomanian in age). It looks like it's deformed during fossilisation (or afterwards). It would be 10 cm long, about 3,5 cm wide and 3 cm high in it's original state. So is this in fact a dinosaur toe bone? If so what family could it be? Or am I completely mistaken and is this something entirely different.

    Tree limb? Bamboo? Reed?

    Like what title said: is it a tree limb, bamboo, reed, or is it even something geological? Dakota formation, also known as Dakota Sandstone. Dakota formation is known to produce variety of flora fossils, such as leaves and seeds. The patterns on these fossils strike me as 'flora-ish'; like these that seem be nodes and also 'bark-like' and fibrous textures. ...Continued on the next post.

    3cm. long Cenomanian Late Cretaceous From the Kem Kem Basin in Morocco
  24. Today I had a good time with fossil hunting at the Dakota formation (early Cenomanian) sites and Greenhorn formation (Cenomanian-early Turonian) sites in Ellsworth county, Kansas. Typical view of the local countryside, but still beautiful! I keep finding these weird vertebrae-like rocks, clustered in this particular site and not other sites. I suspect it's not vertebrae but I still can't figure this out yet. These mysterious vertebrae-like rocks...reminds me of shark centrum and crinoid stems but I don't think it's them. This site is Dakota formation. I took these home just in case it is identified as fossils later. I think it's fossil vegetation of some sort. Maybe reed or horsetail? I found these jumbled at different locations but put it together and it fitted like a puzzle. I took it home and will be prepped. This is from Dakota formation. Inoceramus from Greenhorn formation. One of the best specimen of this genus I have found so far! Took this one home. Another Inoceramus, pretty good specimen! I also took this one home. Tiny fossil in the center. Greenhorn formation again. This tiny fossil, image enlarged and the ridges/grooves are visible. No idea what it was. I took this one home and will be put under the microscope for identification efforts. The storm was brewing at the distance as the cold front is heading south. It was lightning and I was at near the top of hill, the road would be impassable if wet, so it was time for me to go home! I will be posting some of those fossils on the Fossils ID section soon after it is cleaned up. Cheers!
