There is quite of bit Kem Kem dinosaur material coming on the market and some of it quite good.   Will try address the identification issue on some items so at least you will know what your bidding on.

 

This appears to match quite well with a Spinosaurid ilium, seller calls it a  pelvic bone.  Looks quite nice, complete with a concern are the areas circled in white.  Not sure it's bone or matrix.  Seller does comment on filled fractures and some are visible but that should not detract from the piece.

What the seller is offering here is a Spinosaurus phalanx and claw toe bones.  What I believe you have here is a Spinosaurid foot claw and a carpal (hand bone).  So think about this listing as two separate bones not associated in any way.

This is a listing of a Spinosaurus complete finger with claw.  What I believe you have are 3 carpals from a Spinosaurid that are completely unassociated and are not a good match as a composite.  Hard to say much about the claw other that it appears to be a foot claw of what cannot determine with photos provided.  Again like the one above if you're interested in this bid it as 4 separate items.

Seller has this as a Spinosaurus phalanx toe bone.   I find it difficult to call this one since its a partial but looks more like a carpal.  I dont think you can ID this to any specific critter, not much diagnostic and we know so little.

Seller is offering these as 4 Spinosaurus phalanx toe bones.   The two on the left look like carpals, probably from a Spinosaurid.  The one on the far right is a phalanx but it's hard to determine from what dinosaur.   The second from the right to fragmented to say.

Seller here has 4 Spinosaurus phalanx toe bone for sale.   They are toe bones and may be from Spinosaurid but who knows there are lots of other theropods in this region and identifying isolated bones is very difficult.   If interested they should be identified as theropod indeterminate.

Being offered as a Spinosaurus phalanx toe bone.  It might be from a Spinosaurid but have same comments as above
