Hello! 

 

I have this bone which i recieved in a lot, all bones and remains were advertised as from the Kem  Kem  Beds. 

 

It seems to be hollow,

I think it may be crocodile? Thanks in advance for your input, could it be dinosaur? Reptile? 

 

Thanks!

Hi, does it seems heavy for its size ?

I agree, it could be a small theropod as it's hollow.  Definitely from the Kem Kem though.

I wouldn't say so. It's quite light!

I asked that because a fossil bone is heavier than a modern of the same size. @Natalie81 and @mattman10 speak of theropod, you say it is quite light, but it is hollow, so, is it fossil ? Others might want to shime in @Harry Pristis, @Kane, @ClearLake, @old bones ?

Looks like a legit Kem Kem bone to me. And they are frequently hollow (if dinosaur or turtle).

Yeah it's definitely heavier than bone and is a fossil for sure. Thanks for the help:)
