    Kem Kem Leptostyrax macrorhiza

    A very rare Leptostyrax from the Kem Kem beds of Morocco. Lower Upper-Cenomanian in age.

  4. I recently spent [price redacted) on this Drotops Armatus from an USA fossil dealer. But when I received it, I became very suspicious. First, I examined it clearly and there isn't any sign of cracking and glueing, which is pretty unusual based on my knowledge. Second, the color is just too brown. Seller claimed this specimen is from Altchana formation, but I never seen such color in any other Morocco trilobites. Third, there are around 10-20 tiny little holes (less than 0.5mm) on the bug surface, which looked very suspicious. Seller claimed these holes are caused by sand blaster. Can I trust this specimen? Very worried and want some advice! IMG_5745.HEIC IMG_5746.HEIC
  5. I recently acquired this piece. It's a little over an inch long, from the Asfla region of Morocco. It was labeled pliosaur but looking at other pictures online, it appears to favor a Polycotylidae plesiosaur tooth. Thoughts?
  6. Hi! Information of this Paralejurus provided is Name: Paralejurus spatuliformis Locale: Tafilalt, Jebel oufatene, Morocco (Local information may be incorrect. I think It is P. brongniarti or P. bohemicus, not P. spatuliformis. (I referred to this paper : https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259399182_The_Devonian_styginid_trilobite_Paralejurus_with_new_data_from_Spain_and_Morocco) What do you think about???
  7. Hello, I saw this Spinosaurus claw for sale today and it looked "okay" to me . Clean , no matrix , good shape . But the photos are a bit weird : no near photos, photos just from two sides (maybe to hide restorations) . Whats your opinion on it ? It was found in the Kemkem beds, morocco.
  8. I have this unnamed moroccan tilobite in my collection , now i want to know If somebody knows the exact species. I've done a little bit of research and found two species that match very well : Holladorps and Minicryphaeus Quaterspinosus . Or i am completly wrong and its a complete different species Length of the trilobite : 5 cm Found in : Erfoud, morocco
  9. I saw this dinosaur finger for sale today. Its labeled as Spinosaurus finger but it looks more like Abelisaurus or Deltadromeus . Is it even real or from the same dinosaur ? Whats your opinion about it ? Found in: Kemkem beds, morocco From the upper cretaceous
  10. Hi, I think this trilobite looks like Phacops smoothops, it's eye facet similar Phacops smoothops eye fomula. But I think the smoothops genal angle is more rounded. So I'm not sure that it is smoothops. Is it smoothops? And, in Phacopidae, if the eye facet is correct, can i specify it, if other features are little different?
  11. HI! I think this is Reedops pembertoni. Is this right? Pygidium is looks like Reedops, and eye facet is similar Reedops pembertoni. But I'm not sure..

    Moroccan mosasaur

    Hello, could someone please help me find out which species of Moroccan mosasaur this jaw fragment belongs to? 2x2 inches
  13. Tolmanbridge

    Unknown Moroccan Shark Tooth

    I just got a package today of fossils from Morocco. Most were just your common mosasaur and otodus teeth, etc. But this one just doesn't look right. Can someone please help me identify it? It looks like a rather wide Otodus tooth but has a prominent ridge running down the middle. It also has a very large root and the tooth sits on quite an angle from the root. Appreciate any help. It is 2 1/2 cm across at the root.

  15. Hey everyone, I just wanted to see what you guys thought of this Drotops. I know they are commonly faked and the lacquer job on this specimen isn't the best. Let me know what you think, I can take more pictures if you want.
  16. It was collected from Bou Dib Formation near Mrakib. Im wondering if they are authentic or fake. Why is the stone they’re on a different color than the rest of the rock?
  17. Hi everyone, I have recently acquired this mosasaur jaw from an online auction. It is currently being shipped to me so I'll be able to take additional photos once it has arrived. The seller stated it was found in a phosphate mine in the Khouribga region in Morocco. It's 41 cm wide and 20 cm tall. I'd like to know if it's possible to identify the genus or species this jaw belongs to. I'm also wondering if it's possible to tell if it's an upper or lower jaw. Before I'd discovered this forum I made a post about it on Reddit. The people there told me the matrix is fake and there have been some small repairs made. What are the signs of the matrix being fake? And what are the signs it's been repaired/restored? Below are two more photos which will hopefully provide more information. Thanks a bunch!

    Adam's Early / Lower Devonian

    The Devonian period is known as "The Age of Fish", but could also be known as "The Age of Brachiopods." In the Early / Lower Devonian, brachiopods reached the height of their diversity towards its end in the Emsian. We see the ancestral groups occurring, lingulids, craniids, orthids, protorthids, pentamerids, rhynchonellids and strophomenids, as well as the later successful groups we have seen before such as atrypids, athyrids and orthotetids, plus the rise of spiriferids, spiriferinids and productids and the beginning of the terebratulids. By the end of the Devonian , several of these groups are extinct or severely reduced in importance and brachiopods never quite recover. Also, the Devonian is the last time we see trilobites with such variation, large sizes and numbers and orthocerids too are much more uncommon after the rise of the goniatites. The massive tabulate coral reefs also disappear after the Devonian. Fascinating period and I hope to share some of its wonders with you. Equally, a lot of this is rather new to me, so I would be very grateful for any assistance, corrections or further information on my specimens. Thank you. The Early Devonian epoch is split into three stages, so let's start with the first of those, the Lochkovian, that began about 419 mya and finished roughly 411 mya. I have been sent a nice selection of brachiopods from the Kalkberg Formation, Helderberg Group by the Mighty @Misha, mostly. But the kind gentleperson also sent me this fascinating little bryozoan hash : It is dominated by fenestellids, which is usually the case in the Devonian, but other orders sill occur. These ones, I think, are Fenestella, but there are so many species in the formation that I wont take a guess as to species : Not sure what this one is ;
  20. I saw this Spinosaurus toe for sale today and wondered how much of it is reconstructed. It was found in the Kemkem formation , morocco From the cretaceous period .

    Need help identifying these bones

    I have a mosasaur tooth in matrix but it is surrounded by a cluster of what are presumably fish bones. There are a few vertebrae visible but I can’t seem to identify more than that. It’s from Khourigba, Morocco and is about 8 cm x 7 cm. Just wondering what these bones might be from (similar photos online make it seem like it could be pieces of an enchodus skeleton?)
  22. Hi everyone! I'm hoping for a second opinion on this Mosasaur jaw. The parts look real to me, my question is did they all come from the same jaw. The jaw is 65 cm, so a pretty decent size. What do you all think? is it a composite? Any insight is appreciated as always!
  23. Between the weather and my busy schedule, I haven't been able to get out into the field, so I have been fossil-hunting in my mailbox. I bought a small collection of pieces that was something of a mish-mash. The labeling sucks. Some of the labels are missing and some are mixed up. This tooth did not have a label. It was mixed in with dinosaur material, including a sauropod eggshell fragment from South America, some hadrosaur bone fragments from the western US, and some Moroccan fossils. I don't know where this piece came from - it could be Morocco, it could be South America, it could be the US, or..... It measures 50mm long x 11mm wide at the base. It doesn't appear to be glued or repaired, but looks like it was sealed with some kind of butvar or poly. Does anyone know what critter this tooth is from? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! MikeG

    Thililua longicollis tooth?

    Tooth measures .83 inches and wasfound in Asfla, Goulmima, Morocco at the Akrobou Formation. From what I’ve read this is either Thililua or Manemergus Anguirostris and the seller wasn’t 100% sure.
  25. I would like to hear opinions what would be smartest thing to do. I have couple pieces from Morocco Ouled Abdoun basin that have freepiece shark teeth in them. Problem is that other shark tooth is perfectly under the piece, other one visible at wrong side at the edge. I was thinking could I remove bottom one by using rock carving tool and perhaps scrape other one bit more visible? Or should I leave them be? What are the risks because I have no experience with prepping?
