Hi, Was wondering what this could be. It is 19cm and I suspect it could possibly be from a theropod, but it might instead be something else. Thanks!

Hello, thoughts on this. Supposedly a Pliosaur tooth, from Atlas Mountains Morocco. But is it Pliosaur or Plesiosaur? cheers

So I got this tooth recently listed vaguely as a mosasaur tooth. I was wondering what genus it was from. All I know about location is that it was sourced from somewhere in Morocco.

Fossilized jaw, gifted to me by my aunt this christmas.
75millionyearsago posted a topic in Fossil ID
The jaw is pictured here- the enamel on the teeth does glint as expected, and there are fragments of shell throughout the matrix. Partially obscured portions of the left side of the jaw also show it was crushed as it fossilized, which all to me indicates the matrix is real. The jaw was sourced from Morocco by my aunt from a trusted seller she works with frequently, so i’m not SUPER worried about its authenticity. That said, if you think something is up, do tell! I’m led to believe it belongs to genus Enchodus, but the angle of the frontal tooth alongside the shortness of the jaw has me really unsure, and is leaving little inklings of doubt about it being real. i also attached a photo of an ammonite i am 100% sure is real but am hoping for a second opinion on my ID as an Agadir ammonite.

Symphyseal/Parasymphyseal Otodus obliquus Teeth from Morocco
MarcoSr posted a topic in Member Collections
I rarely buy shark teeth, but I saw a lot (see below picture) of small shark teeth from Morocco for sale on FB. I could see a good number of Otodus obliquus symphyseal teeth in the pictures of the lot, and one tooth that looked like an Otodus obliquus lower parasymphyseal tooth. Lower Otodus obliquus parasymphyseal teeth are much rarer than the symphyseal teeth. Per a personal conversation with Lutz Andres, based upon his research Otodus obliquus symphyseal teeth are probably 10 times more common than the lower parasymphyseal teeth. The opposite is true for Parotodus. I bought the lot and just received the teeth. I sent pictures to Lutz of a good number of the teeth, and we agreed that there were 16 symphyseal teeth and one parasymphyseal tooth in the lot. It can be very difficult to differentiate Moroccan Otodus from Parotodus teeth, and only large size can confidently rule out Parotodus teeth. However, in the Moroccan Khouribga faunas, Otodus obliquus are much more common than Parotodus. Group picture of the lot of teeth: Two symphyseal teeth: Symphyseal Otodus obliquus tooth, Khouribga, Morocco 21 mm SH Symphyseal Otodus obliquus or Parotodus tooth, Khouribga, Morocco 10 mm SH Parasymphyseal tooth: Parasymphyseal Otodus obliquus or Parotodus tooth, Khouribga, Morocco13 mm SH Marco Sr.

Hi all! The past year, in the little spare time I had as a father of a 1-year old, I made illustrations of Moroccan dinosaurs on my iPad. I have shared some of these on this forum before, but I made some changes (hopefully improvements) to most of these, and some of them I have not shared before. The animals are all based on the designs of the Kem Kem dinosaur poster I made last year. Here is the complete set: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus Deltadromeus agilis Carcharodontosaurus saharicus Rebbachisaurus garasbae Rugops primus Some dromaeosaurids Some sauropods

Hello! This is my first post so be gentle I have a vertebrae from Morocco here that i cant seem to figure out. The owner of the collection I'm examining recalls purchasing it from Morocco, but doesn't recall if it comes from the Kem Kem beds or from the High Atlas Mountains. After some dusting and light acetone cleaning was able to determine that it is in fact a vertebra, but I'm not sure of the species, as the piece is slightly deformed and lacks processes. My best guess so far is a sauropod caudal vertebra, possibly Rebbachisaurus, but I'm having difficulty in finding any reputable sources that would confirm this. I could also understand if it came from a large theropod, but has lost its shape due to deformation. Sadly, most of my expertise is with Hell Creek fossils, so I'd really appreciate any help that can be offered Lastly, if the piece is of any significance (undescribed or poorly described species) it will most likely be donated to the local museum! So that would be cool. Thanks again!

Dear All, One of the first fossils I acquired (this year) was a small Mosasaur jaw piece from Morocco. The dealer who I bought it from wasn't entirely sure of the species but carefully suggested it was Mosasaurus beaugei. Having now seen some teeth of M. beaugei, I'm not at all certain this identification is correct Rather, to my untrained eye, it seems to match more closely with some examples of Eremiasaurus heterodontus teeth I've found online. I'm far from an expert, however, so any help would be much appreciated! I have no exact location for where the piece was found, other than 'Spanish Sahara Morocco'. The teeth are between 22 and 26 mm long. Kind regards, Nick

Hello, all. I obtained this gorgeous little trilobite in one of my best-ever haggling deals in Agadir a few years back. The names keep changing, so first of all, am I right in thinking this is now the genus Belenopyge? Or is it Acanthopyge (Belenopyge)? And is the species bassei or estevei? Hypostome? Thanks for taking a look and extra thanks for any constructive or friendly comments. Scott @piranha , Kane @Kane?

Purchased these two little friends in Alnif and unfortunately I can't find the information about them (species, locale). I think I remember the black one from the Ordovician or Devonian, and possibly the other from the Fezouata Formation. Perhaps someone here will know more. I know the black one was prepped personally by the seller in Alnif and I think he did the other as well. I'm going to keep looking as I was sure I recorded the info somewhere.

The jaw is from the phosphates of oued zem and measures 40cm more or less. It's a juvenile thalassotitan atrox or it's another species? Thanks! @Praefectus @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon

This trilobite was gifted to me by a family member who was in Morocco. I have doubts about its authenticity

Hi all, A friend in North Carolina has this (among many other) box of bones from Morocco that need some sort of ID or general push in the right direction. I haven't been staring at bones long enough to make sense of these, but the tray they're sitting in is 15 inches long. My own personal uneducated guess is that I see some metacarpals and other small hand bones, a metatarsal or two, etc. , but I welcome outside opinion. I have my eye on the one top right, first in the group of 3 so I'm especially curious about that one. Mahalo!
