Seanrad09 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Here’s another one I’m not sure about. I know we are still learning about the Kem Kem Beds daily, but I wanted to give this one a shot to see if any of the community had any input. I know you all know much more than I do. It was sold as Dino/Crocodyliform, so not much to go off of besides it was in the Cretaceous Kem Kem beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Are you sure its from the Kem Kem group? The preservation and color/composition of the matrix (in neural canal) looks more like its from the phosphate deposits of the Ouled Abdoun Basin (late cretaceous to eocene) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Ouled, I’m not versed in marine fauna at all unfortunately, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 It's very light in colour, but the type of grain and some of the details still seem consistent with the Kem Kem beds. Based on the shape of the neural spine and the centrum I would say this is a cervical vertebra of a large croc. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
