LordTrilobite Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Alright so here are my photos. I was too busy looking at fossils to take many photos Here's my haul. Some nice literature, for Mantellisaurus and Charonosaurus to be specific. A partial Moroccan mosasaur skull. There's a part of a jaw. Not sure yet but I think it might be the pterygoid. There are also some flat bones that I think are part of the skull roof. This is gonna be a fun project to prep. A pleistocene gator vert from Florida. And then a whole bunch of Kem Kem stuff. A Pterosaur tooth. A number of associated pieces of a large croc. Part of a jaw. Part of what looks like the quadrate and a smaller bone that might be a neck rib. And lastlyI bought a whole bunch of chunkosaurs. Most are pretty indistinct. But there are some more interesting pieces in there. It also includes a few broken Spinosaur, Carcharodontosaur and sawfish teeth. Will be fun to see what I can learn from these chunks. 2 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the pterosaur tooth and the gator vert! The mosasaur skull is cool too. But where did you get the pterosaur tooth from? I didn't see it on any of the stands...

LordTrilobite Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The same seller that had that fish skeleton that you posted a photo of. He had a bunch of Kem Kem teeth. Lots of Spinosaur and Carcharodontosaur but also a number of pterosaur, croc and Sauropod teeth. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame I didn't see them though; I guess I was so impressed by the big fish that I forgot to look at the smaller things next to it Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

LordTrilobite Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I took a closer look at the croc skull parts I bought and the jaw piece is part of the left maxilla and premaxilla. The only animal that seems to match is Elosuchus. This beasty was seriously big. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is the location of the fossils (Khouribga, Kem Kem, or something else)? I'm having trouble finding good info about Elosuchus; do you know what the average estimated length of it is?
