holdinghistory Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Not 100% sure, but it may be a Eutrichiurides jaw. That is how I have seen similar ones labeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, the teeth need to be shown more to make that determination I think. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the teeth are, in my eye, the most exposed without removing them for ID is what I meant. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrewer Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 I get this could well be a composite too. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If anything it may be set into the matrix. Doubt the jaw is composite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I know the middle section looks different, but i think this is just preservation and damage, i don't think the jaw is a composite. Not sure of the id, but Eutrichiurides is better than anything else I can think of. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Not a fish person but are you sure this is Kem Kem. Eutrichiurides are eocene from Khouribga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eutrichiurides are eocene from Khouribga Looking at the sand colour I guess it could well be Khouribga. Unless the mossy tooth has been added it can’t be Eocene. @Fossildude19 @Haravex John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haravex Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 You won't find any mosasaur in the kem kem beds to my knowledge they are found within the phosphate mine of Khouribga, Also the matrix looks consistent with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Yeah, that's a fish jaw from the phosphate beds of Khouribga. Not from Kem Kem. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get my @Bobby Rico phone microscope out later and post a pic of a close up of a tooth or two. Thanks for all all the replies so far.
