Hello everybody, this is all my new bones from morocco, i need many precision on it, if you could. I know they are few publication of Kem Kem but you coule maybe help me. 

 Firstly, i have those two vert, i don’t have idea for the identification. The smallest is clearly a reconstruction, perhaps with a piece of rib.

Those 3 next bones are also enigmatic for me : the first is an haemapophyse, the second look weird for a rib, and the last is a phalanx ? A matatarsal ? A carpal ?

I haven’t any idea for those two small claws and this small bone. I would like to have if it’s possible information about the type of animals (croc, dino, pterosaurs, etc)

Right vert everthing above centrum is poorly composited.  I cannot say much more.

Left vert need a straight in photo of the side

 

Need better lit and closer images of the claws and bone.  Might be able to say if dinosaurian.

This is a chervon.

Yeah that smaller vert on the right is definitely composited. Hard to tell what's been glued to it. It might be worth seeing if acetone dissolves the glue. The centrum kinda reminds me of croc caudal verts with that little nubbin on the bottom side.

That little vertebra looks like a dorsal one. Dunno what type of animal. But it does not look like Spinosaurid. It's too fat for that. Could be a croc vert.

 

As Troodon pointed out, the thin bone with the hole is a chevron. Quite a nice one too. And I'd say it looks pretty consistent with a posterior Spinosaurid chevron from somewhere in the middle back of the tail.

Here are a number of Baryonyx bones. In the top left box there are some chevrons visible. These seem a little more robust though.

And an image of the tail reconstruction of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. Notice how the chevrons on the bottom of the tail bend backwards. This looks pretty similar to yours.

Thank you for the additional photos...I dont think the claw is dinosaurian but better photos might change my mind.  Unfortunately no idea what from animal.
