I have a Megalodon tooth being sold; the seller claims it's from Morocco. I have serious doubts based on the coloration and preservation. To me, it looks more like a North Carolina Ledge tooth. I'd love some more input, please.

This shark tooth came from a bulk package, and I’m thinking it’s otodus? But i’m not sure, it’s a little over an inch, and from the Khouribga phosphate beds in Morocco

Hello, I recently discovered this strange fossil while browsing my collection. It is from the Kem Kem Formation and measures around 6cm on the longest side. I did some research but had absolutely no idea what that could be. I think it's also very difficult to determine, but maybe one of you has an idea. I would be happy to receive a few suggestions! On the left side (red arrow in the pictures) there is a 1cm deep "hole", a kind of bulge, but not broken out, but the natural shape of the bone. Many thanks and best regards from Germany

I recieved this today from Strepsodus. All he could tell me was that it's from the Kemkem basin. I'm just wondering if this might be a Deltadromeus tooth and if not, then what might it be? It's 3cm. long.

Real fish skull bone from the Kem Kem Beds?
msantix posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, Just wanted to check if this fish skull bone from the Kem Kem in Morocco is real or not? I think it is, but I wanted to get opinions about this fossil. Seller states that there is no restoration only a few glued fractures. It is 12cm in length. Thank you. -
Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify these trilobites. Thanks for your help. The first two are Moroccan trilobites. I think they belong to the genus Calymene, but I am not sure. I have an ID card that says they are from the Ktaoua Group, Anti-Atlas Region, Morocco, Upper Ordovician. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks. This is another trilobite from Morocco. I think it is Proteus sp., but would like confirmation. My ID card says its from Ofaten, Morocco and is Middle Devonian in age. Is it correct? Last, I have some trilobites that I think are from the Wheeler Shale. I think they are Elrathia. Unfortunately, I don't have more information on them. I received them as a gift from my dad when I was around 5. I didn't think to take down notes on location, formation, and age at the time.

A suspicious looking crocodile
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
From the Morocco phosphate beds. It is described as repaired in places. But, I dunno, it looks suspicious to me. The teeth look placed in. What are others thoughts? Maybe im wrong and its,real. Or real and not the best prep job? Any thoughts would be great.- 7 replies

Hello, friends. Can anyone give me a helping hand identifying this, please? Not the Asaphellus trilobite, but the other object. This is Moroccan Fezouata, so Early Ordovician. Notice the thoracic segments curve the opposite way to most trilobites. It is convex on both sides, though seemingly a bit flattened. It has a 'flange' on one side of the anterior and presumably had one on the other side. Bit of a trilo? Aglaspid? Xiphosurid? Some sort of echinoderm? Any guesses most welcome. Thank you very much. Scale here in inches : Removed a little more matrix. Scale here in cm. This shows the trilobite better! Thanks again. Cheers, Adam and Tidgy.

Hi, Saw this fossil for sale and the seller believes it might be a partial vertebra from a Sauropod. It is from the Kem Kem in Morocco and I am not sure if there are enough diagnostic features to be sure, anyone have an idea as to what it might be?. It is 22cm in length. Thanks.

I have had this carcharodontosaurid tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco since Christmas 2011 and it is still among my most prized fossils. I took a photo of the cross section today and noticed that it's a rather fat tooth. There are other old pictures of it in my Gallery but does anyone know what tooth position such a fat Carch tooth could be? Premax, maxilla, dentary? The tooth is 7 centimeters long. Thanks in advance.

Yet another Mosasaur jaw for scrutiny
snolly50 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Opinions please as to the "original" state of this piece. The seller touts "as found." I have provided the largest image available. Please comment. -
Hi. Does anyone know what this is? I bought it as part of a wholesale lot of Moroccan mosasaur teeth. I'm guessing that it is Maastrichtian in age and from Oued Zem, Morocco. Thanks for any help.

Yet more Mosasaur jaw pieces
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, a few more Mosasaur jaw pieces that I am interested in. I can't say no to a Mosasaur. It's my fav marine reptile and one of my favorite extinct beasts. 1 -- Eremiasaurus -- from Ouled Abdoun Basin. 2 - Halisaurus -- Ouled Abdoun Basin -- This is my fav of the three. 3 - Prognathodon - Ouled Abdoun Basin. This one looks like the tooth has been repaired? I can't see anything signs that have cropped up on a few past jaws I've posted --- so hopefully, these three are all good and I can pop a bid in for the trio. Thanks for the help, as always. -
Pliosaur rib/vert in matrix
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
It was initially being sold as plesiosaur when I inquired about it, but seller says it was mislabelled and is pliosaur--which, if accurate, even better! But I am dubious over Pliosaur ID because I don't think I've ever seen any Morocco pliosaur fossils up for sale. But, if anyone can take a look and let me if A) It looks legit and B ) Whether you think Pliosaur or plesiosaur is accurate, that would be great. 80 million years old, from Morocco. 17 inches along the straight edge and 10 inches along the bottom. Thanks for any help!- 20 replies
