kathrynjenine Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Trying to find out anything on this fossil. Thinking maybe Moroccan, and teeth attached to a jaw? I can't find anything close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Not familiar with the fauna .. but I'm gonna toss out some sort of Ratfish. Just a wild guess. I think those "teeth" have the look of it ? Cheers, Brett @Tidgy's Dad 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I agree it looks like some kind of chimaeroid jaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigantoraptor Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Yeah it's a lungfish toothplate. More precisely Ceratodus humei, one of the three lungfishes present in the Kem Kem Compound Assemblage. It's Cenomanian in age (100,5-93,9 myo). The one Troodon shows is the same species. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
