Being Human Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 This Kem Kem fossil rib I acquired a while back has obviously been re-assembled from multiple fractured pieces (with quite a lot of the dreaded Kem Kem filler) but the pieces look consistent, the surface preservation is nice, and the shape is pretty distinctive. It's 285mm long. Is there any way to determine what this might have been from or are ribs too generic? It was listed as dinosaur, but it could be crocodilian.

LordTrilobite Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 It does look like one piece. I don't see any red flags that would indicate a composite. So that's good. Otherwise, ribs are notoriously difficult or even impossible to properly identify. It doesn't help that the Kem Kem beds is still largely a mystery. A rib from a large reptile. Could be either dinosaur or croc unless you find a really good match for the shape. Though it doesn't have many clear distinguishing features.
