BioBob Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Here's a 45 cm / 17.7 inch long bone from the Kem Kem of Morocco. I don't know what animal this belonged to. Maybe a theropod or crocodilian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 As I said before, my first thought was femur. But I dunno, it's a weird bone. Perhaps some type of limb bone of a very large croc like Elosuchus. But I'm not sure it's limbs have been described. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Odd is very true. Dont believe its theropod or sauropod most likely Crocodylian but little is described from the KK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 How symmetrical are the two ends? Because that middle break point is looking very symmetrical. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioBob Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 One end looks pretty symmetrical but it's incomplete. So might very well have been asymmetrical anyway. \/ The other end of the bone is asymmetrical, one side seems to be slightly larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I feel a bone like this, and importantly this size should be identifiable. When looking at a crocodile the size of elosuchus it might be a good idea to reference sarchosuchus. I don't suppose there is any chance it could be ornithischian?
