Just wondering if these two large bones are more likely to be dinosaur bones or something like crocodylomorphs bones. They are from the Kem Kem and the bigger one is 40cm long (15.75 inches), while the smaller bone is 34cm long (13.39 inches). Unfortunately these are the only pictures provided by the seller, so not sure if they can be id based on the pictures but thought it is worth asking about.

Hi friends, Recently I've received this neural arch from Kem Kem beds. It was identified as Spinosaur vertebra...but I'm not sure on this identification, then I'd like some help....someone who can help me, please? could be really a spinosaur or a crocrodile? Below follow three photos of the same vertebra Thanks

Hello to everyone, I found an interesting pattern cleaning an unidentified bone and would love to hear your opinion. This bone arrived covered in soft sandstone, according to the seller it came from Taouz, Errachidia Province, South Morocco. I identified it as a sauropod, probably diplodocoid but i'm only an amateur so I will love to hear what you think. after I cleaned the surface with a rotating brush it revealed multiple bite marks in varies size and depth. From what I red and saw online, I figured that these are raptor bite marks. Do you agree? Does it rare to find so many bite marks on one bone? Thanks a lot!

What about this Mosasaur tooth?
Wowbnjijdat posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
What do you guys think about this Mosasaur tooth, with a emerging replacement tooth? Composite or not? I have bought many times from the reseller and no problems, he guarantees the authenticity, but with this tooth I doubt..

Could anyone put a name on this bone from the Kem Kem beds? When i purchased it there was a lot of sediment stick on it and looks more like a strange looking stone, but what came out is a complete bone.

I am currently browsing the internet for an affordable Moroccan dinosaur vertebra, and I have (potentially) found one. However, the seller does not provide an identification for this piece. The only write up provided is: (not directly copied from the seller's writeup) It is 5.8 cm x 6.7 cm x 5.2 cm in volume, and it was found in the Kem Kem basin. Here are the images. I have absolutely no clue how to identify vertebrae, as I have only ever collected fossils from the Ordovician! Any input would be valued. Thank you! FS

Hi guys, This tooth was sold as a small Carcharodontosaurus tooth but I tend to say it is an Abelisaurid. The tooth is 2 cm and from the Ifezouane formation. There is not an noticeable difference in serrations on the side. The serration ridge on one side is bowing. What do you think?

Hi, I have these two toe bones from the Kem Kem. Was wondering if they belong to a theropod or something like a crocodile. The yellow one (1.3 inches) i believe is theropod, but i am not sure about the red one (1.7 inches).
-
I've been trying to work out what this bone is - can anyone offer any suggestions please? Nearest match I could find would be a pectoral or pelvic girdle of a turtle, but my bone guesses tend to be wrong.

Hi Below please find some pictures of a jaw from the Kem Kem. The length is about 15cm. When I bought the jaw I assumed that the teeth have been composited in. However, when looking at it more closely I am not 100% sure about that any more. Probably a hot needle test can tell? Thanks for your opinion.

Hi, I saw this for sale, apparently a lower left jaw of a small theropod dinosaur. It is 12cm long and from the Kem Kem beds. It also apparently has predation marks on it. I wanted to ask if indeed this is a theropod lower jaw or if it is something else like a crocodile jaw. Also the description says it is probably from an Abelisaurid, is it possible to narrow it down to family level?. Thanks.

Is real? Rib or a Skull Fragment of Kem Kem?
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone from my favorite forum! Please, I am in doubt if this bone is really real and what it could be. It was discovered at Kem Kem in Morocco. If it really is real (and I think it is), I am in doubt between fragmented rib or skull fragment. I am very grateful and all help is welcome! @Troodon

I've obtained another little lot of miscellaneous bones. To my surprise, many of the partial bones in the lot were perfect matches, so I was able to stick them back together. But these isolated bones can be a bit puzzling, so I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what they may be! I've numbered the images to make it a bit easier. Firstly, the verts. I can normally differentiate between croc and dinosaur with the larger verts, but I'm not so good when it comes to the smaller ones. Then the misc bones. 7: Piece of fish skull, I assume. 13: This is a concave shape (the centre as you see it in the picture is raised). 15: This looks a bit like a furcula, but I guess it's probably not. I know what these next bits are, but I'm just showing off now A big chunk of unprepared crocodile scute, an unprepared Onchopristis rostrum, and two big hybodont fin spines.

I took delivery of a nice big box of Kem Kem junk bits today, and have spent the afternoon sorting them. Some really nice croc & fish jaw pieces, some big bits of scute, various small vertebrae, scales etc etc. But as usual, there are a few interesting bits which defy ID for me. I'd be grateful if anyone has any opinions on these bits: 1. I'm wondering if this is some kind of fish skull/jaw element? 2. No idea what these are, but there's two of them, and they're the same but mirrored. Fish perhaps? 3. Two of these too. I know I've seen them before somewhere! Not actually hoping for an ID on this one (I assume it's a juvenile croc jaw?) but posting it because it's very cute. Likewise with this big bit of crocodile scute! Here's a couple of pictures of some of the stuff I'm sorting. I love going through these bits, even if many of them are destined to remain mysteries for now. Thanks.

Hi all. I saw this online and I was amazed. The fossil is sold as a pterosaur tooth from Kem Kem. Size: 49 x 8 mm This species of pterosaurs could reach a wingspan of up to 6 meters ! » Could it really be a fully rooted pterosaur tooth? For me it’s really big for a pterosaur. What do you think? Never saw a fully rooted one. Rare? Do you think it could be a fake? Regards.

Hey. I saw this online and I was wondering what it could be. I was thinking about some kind of raptor. Abellisaurid? Could someone tell me the specie name? It is from Kem Kem. Thanks so much. Cheers

Kem Kem Coprolite?
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good Night to everyone from my favorite Forum! I'm very curious about this specimen. According to the seller's description, this is a coprolite discovered in beds of Kem Kem. This is real? Is it from a carnivore or herbivore? Could it be a dinosaur?
-
Hi all, Anyone have any clue what this is? Both the standowner and I were perplexed at what it could be... It's from Kem Kem, Morocco. (Unfortunately, I can't post more pics, in case needed, because I didn't buy it... I somehow have the feeling I'm gonna regret not having bought it!) I am curious to see what this is! Max

I bought this partial vertebrae about a week ago from a moroccan dealer for a very good price (I'm currently trying to identify many vertebrate fossils from Kem Kem, and this is somewhat a pause between two spinosaurid caudal vertebrae and a very big crocodilian mandible articular bone). Since many of you are way more experienced than me regarding moroccan vertebrae, I'm searching for more opinions. This small/medium sized specimen lacks most of the processes, but has some recognizable elements. It is laterally compressed and has a small keel running in its ventral region. I identified It as a caudal vertebrae, and the dealer told me it was a theropod. I don't think he had the skills to seriously identify anything, and I can't understand if It really is a theropod or a crocodile.

Hi all, This little bone piece from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco is one of the things I bought at a fossil fair this weekend for a small price. I know that Kem Kem ID is really tricky, so I am not expecting a definite species as an answer. But knowing a bit more precisely what kind of animal it came from would be nice to know. I can always make more pictures if needed. Thanks in advance for your help! Max

Hi all, I got this puny little phalanx from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco for a small price at the fossil fair. The seller said he didn't know what it came from. I am aware that Kem Kem bone ID is very very difficult, so if I don't get a species answer that is no problem! I would like to know though whether it's croc/dino/ptero, preferably a bit more precise too. What are your thoughts? If more pictures are needed, I will gladly make them. Thanks in advance, Max

Hi all, This little tooth from the Kem Kem beds was sold to me at a low price. The seller told me it was a pterosaur tooth. Is this correct? If so, is it possible to tell the species? (I know that Kem Kem species ID is incredibly hard, so I do expect a 'no' on this... BUT, you never know!) I can always make more pictures if needed. Thanks in advance for your answers! Max

Hi all, Bought this little tooth for a low price. It was sold as an Elosuchus crocodile tooth. Is that correct? It's from the Kem Kem beds, Morocco. There are two small cutting edges, each on either side of the tooth (photos 1 and 3) (photo 2 is not a cutting edge I think, as it looks more like a split/groove in the tooth). I can always make more pictures if needed. Thanks in advance for replies! Max

Hi Guys, I found this Mosasaur jaw on the internet, but is it real or an composite? The jaw is from the Kem Kem region.

I recently received as a gift this very small theropod tooth fragment from Morocco. I labeled it as Theropod indet., but I'm searching for a possibly more specific ID. In my opinion it may be a 2 cm broken tip of a small tooth from a Carcharodontosaur, but I also thought of the Abelisaur possibility. I tend to ignore the relatively unknown Deltadromeus and the hipothetical dromaeosaur, given the lack of good material, but I'm open to suggestions. Here you can see two focus photos of the serrations I took with a small digital microscope. As you see, there is a slight difference between the two sides. Still001.bmp Still004.bmp
