Hi everyone! I've been looking at possible ids for this one and my best guess is Elosuchus, but I wanted to make sure since the crown is kinda small (juvenile?). Kem Kem Beds, Morocco Crown Height is 2 cm, Crown base is 1.3 x 1.25 cm Overall specimen is 6.4 cm long (straight line) Largest cross section on root is 1.4 x 1.4 cm. As usual any feedback is appreciated!

Hi, I'm interested in this fossil that is listed as a Theropod Ilium bone from the Kem Kem (21cm in length). I wanted to ask if there are enough diagnostic features to identify it as belonging to a theropod or does it resemble something from a crocodyliform instead? Thanks!

Anyone familiar enough with the Crocodylomorphs from the Hell Creek Formation to be able to help in determining a probable genus or species? I purchased this specimen and have been unable to find images or research papers with similar examples.

Here’s another one I’m not sure about. I know we are still learning about the Kem Kem Beds daily, but I wanted to give this one a shot to see if any of the community had any input. I know you all know much more than I do. It was sold as Dino/Crocodyliform, so not much to go off of besides it was in the Cretaceous Kem Kem beds.

Hello together, I am not entirely sure if the fossil ID section is the right place for this, but I am hoping for information on a fossil specimen, its not one I hold in hands, but a ct scan, and I think I may not post pictures because they are copyrighted. While looking for new inspirations for my model building I took a close look at this wonderful ct scan of a Simosuchus clarki skull. A pugnosed crocodile, how sweet is that? I wonder two things: -how is that bilateral bone called that in many crocodiles protrudes downwards from the skullbase reaching between the mandibles? -Could the fragile structure of the distal end of said bone hint at a juvenile animal? In recent croc skulls I have seen these bones seemed quite solid. The species description says several specimens in a range of sizes have been found, all below one meter and considered fully grown. on the Digimorph site there are videos showing rotation and cross-sections, the structure in question is best visible in the "roll"-vid: http://digimorph.org/specimens/Simosuchus_clarki/ Thanks and Regards, J

I’ll start off by saying I know nothing about fossils. However, I have someone who has found tons of stuff and I’m trying to figure out if they’re actually anything. They look like rocks to me but as many have pointed out to me so I’ll toss some photos out. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. I don’t want to post too many photos so I’ll link my photobucket. (hopefully that’s ok)… If not, I can load them a different way. https://app.photobucket.com/u/photobucket1991pb The thing is they’re stating many of these are agatized dinosaur bones, crocodyliform and others. The items came from the Midwest region of the USA and there have been many Indian artifacts located over many years also in this area as well. Again, I think they look like rocks to me.
