thejavelinman Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Just got some small rib sections and another bone, the ribs don't look like crocodile, I know it can be difficult to give an I'd on parts of bone but was wondering if it could be mosasaur or maybe land based? Bones are from the Kem Kem beds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Sorry cannot help you with an ID on these rib fragments but can say that there are lots of Crocodyliforms in the Kem Kem that take different shapes and sizes that would fit your specimens. Very few publications are out there to compare against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejavelinman Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thanks Troodon, looking at the two similar ones, maybe you are right, the curved bottom part looks different though in shape, it doesn't have the little indented ridge on it but instead has a protruding ridge and it is hollow inside unlike the other two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 That last piece looks like a possible humerus. And if so it might be identifiable. There are also no Mosasaurs in the Kem Kem beds. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
