Cavebear Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hello people. I recently started buying fossils from the kem kem beds other than dinosaur. Not that they aren't cool (Just awesome ) but as to get a better understanding of the paleoecology since , imho, only talking about dinosaur does not do justice to the fantastic other prehistoric creatures. Among many kinds of fish that i aquired was also a shell piece of a turtle. I can't find much on the net but have learned that at least 3 species are known from these beds. After comparing with pieces offered by other vendors the name "hamadachelys " often is used. Some of the pics on the net look the same others don't. So I wonder if this piece can be named. If not no worry since i am happy with "testudian indet." The piece is 10 centimeters long (sorry i am metric ) and repared along the fracture and covered with standard "Morrocan matrix fix-it-all " (they should get a patent for it but not bashing on the people since i know a lot of very nice morrocan people ) sorry for bad pics as I have stated earlier that i am absolutely a giant newbie with technology. Thank you for comments and information. With best regards, Dirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Here is the latest KK Group faunal list that was identified by Ibrahim et al 2020. Sellers are not a very good source of accurate information. My guess is that this list will continue to grow as new discoveries are made. Not sure you will get a specific answer on your specimen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
