Moroccan fish? Jaw

Not 100% sure, but it may be a Eutrichiurides jaw. That is how I have seen similar ones labeled.

Could be, the teeth need to be shown more to make that determination I think.

Not really much more to be seen.

Have you already gotten this or are you thinking of getting it?

Sorry for the misleading statement, I meant they need to be prepped out more.

Some of the teeth are, in my eye, the most exposed without removing them for ID is what I meant.

If anything it may be set into the matrix. Doubt the jaw is composite.

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.

Not a fish person but are you sure this is Kem Kem.     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.

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.

Cretaceous trichiurids are know,also from Africa,I believe,but is this a trichiurid?

Yeah, that's a fish jaw from the phosphate beds of Khouribga. Not from Kem Kem.

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.
