Hi there. I received a box of larger chunks today, and whilst most are unidentifiable, some are a bit more interesting looking, and I suspect that some ID may be possible. I'm going to 3D scan them, because for mystery bones I think it's a much simpler way of getting across their shapes. Here's two for starters. Any suggestions welcome. This first one looks to me like a bit of vert. Am I right, and if so, what does it suggest? It's 2.5 inches long. This second one looks a bit more unusual. I'm hoping that the rough surface on one edge is informative. This one's three inches long. Thanks in advance. More pieces to come as I prep/scan them (including some slightly more intriguing bits).

I've made a short video describing how to remove Moroccan super glue which i know some members have had major issues this is one method I use for stable fossils with minimal glue deposit on them (or smudge technique as i like to call it)

Fourth cervical vertebra of a Spinosaurid. Very likely Sigilmassasaurus due to the short dorsal spine and proportions of the postzygapophyses.

Hi guys A couple of teeth I've had in my box o' bones which I'm struggling with. Everything, as far as I know, comes from Kem Kem. The sand on the smaller tooth is typical of Kem Kem, not much sand on the larger crazily curved tooth. I'm guessing croc type. Any ideas? @Troodon @LordTrilobite @Jesuslover340

Good afternoon for all, in the greater Forum Fossil of the world ! Unfortunately the seller does not have much information regarding this bone. It is described in the advertisement simply as African unidentified bone of reptile, Kem Kem. Any help what that might be? Thanks for all the help!

I obtained this bone a while back, but put it to one side, in the hope that I'd be able to identify it later. It's from Kem Kem and appears to be a process from a vert. In fact, I'm pretty certain it is, because a dealer online has listed this vert, which has a nearly identical process. I'm not so hot on dinosaur anatomy, but I have been looking at photos and diagrams to try and work it out. Would I be right in assuming that the vert above isn't Spinosaurus? I assume it must be dinosaur, because of the size. Thanks in advance.

Hello forum, I came across this at a rock/fossil shop while on a recent road trip. It was labeled as Carcharodontosaurus vertebra from Kem Kem. The shop owner said probably mid-back vertebra. The piece is approximately 12 inches wide and 12 inches across. Any help identifying is greatly appreciated.

Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good morning to everyone at TFF! What exactly is this? According to the seller, this belongs to a Lepidotes pankowskii (South Taouz, Errachidia Province, South Morocco - Formation Ifezouane, Red Sandstone Beds, KemKem Basin - Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian stage - ~96 Million Years) . It's real? Is there scientific information on this? Any and all information will be extremely useful to assist me. I thank everyone! @Troodon @LordTrilobite @Tidgy's Dad @Haravex @hxmendoza

Hi, Saw this 'Pterosaur claw' for sale (first time i have seen something like this for sale) and would like to know if this is the correct id or if it is something else (i believe it might be fish but wanted to ask the experts). It is 1.3 inches long (3.3cm) and is from the Kem Kem. Thanks.

Some fossil photos - gastropods, theropod teeth, crinoids
Aurelius posted a topic in Member Collections
I've set-up a studio in the spare room. My house is tiny, and my spare room is like something out of sodding Lilliput. It's also lined with boxes all the way around, so the workable space is about 3.5 feet by about 6 feet, which is not adequate. However, I've done my best with some experimental techniques. Gastropod with a smaller one washed into it. I collected this myself from Barton on Sea, in Hampshire, UK. I have better specimens, but I like the smaller one being there. This one is about an inch across. More Barton on Sea Gastropods. Crinoid ossicles, pentacrinites from Charmouth, UK. This is highly magnified, this is about a centimetre.

Ok before I go any further I appreciate all the help from the forum and will always research and look up information before asking some I feel I have an idea on but need a second set of eyes and mind. First one I thought was rebbachisauride but maybe not or it is a pathology. This one I believe to be a pre maxila ablesauride and then there are two complete limb bones the first one I suspect might be carpal however not sure and maybe turtle? and the second limb bone maybe a tibula?

Carcharodontosaurid partially rooted posterior tooth
Anomotodon posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Dinosaurs and Reptiles
Distal serration density is almost 3/mm, for typical Carcharodontosaurus it is ~2/mm. However, I also compared it to my other juvenile wide-crown Carch teeth and it seems that 2.7-3/mm is typical for juveniles. -

Dinosaur Claw Morocco
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello. Good afternoon to all of my favorite forum! Please, these two claws of Dinosaurs. Are they real? Any likely candidates? Claw Nº 01 : ===================================== ===================================== Claw Nº 02 : @Troodon @LordTrilobite

Why are so many teeth coming out of Morocco but skull material rare making identification of teeth nigh on impossible to species level? What holotypes exist? I can’t believe it’s just down to bone preservation as bone material is found, Olof’s album for example shows I get that many of the Moroccan diggers are trying to earn a wage and teeth are popular with little prep work needed so a good turnover but there are professional palaeontologists out there too. @Troodon @Tidgy's Dad @LordTrilobite
