Seguidora-de-Isis Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hello everyone from my favorite forum! Please, I am in doubt if this bone is really real and what it could be. It was discovered at Kem Kem in Morocco. If it really is real (and I think it is), I am in doubt between fragmented rib or skull fragment. I am very grateful and all help is welcome! @Troodon Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Yes, this is a real bone, and it's a very small (probably not possible to narrow it down to species) chunk of a rib bone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 @Seguidora-de-Isis If you are certain its real why are you asking in this forum maybe it would be best to ask in Fossil Id? Also I am going to suggest that it is too small a fragment to identify with any certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It appears to be a real bone fragment, and it appears to be a mineralized fossil. More than that, I can offer no suggestions. 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

LordTrilobite Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I agree with Haravex. Real bone but probably too fragmented to properly ID. In the last photo on the bottom right looks potentially interesting. But I think you'd need to see something comparable that matches very closely to get any sort of ID. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I agree with the others, making any suggestions is pure speculation since there is no obvious diagnostic features. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hello, friend! I agree, real, but can't say what it's from. Sorry. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
