caimano Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Hi everyone I found on internet this object today which should be a complete finger of a Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus. I would like to know from your experience and from your opinion if it is natural as they say, or reconstructed, especially the final hook. Dimensions: 32×20×52cm Origin: Morocco. Keme Kem bed Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 What's being sold is Digit III of a Spinosaurus aegyptiacus from the Kem Kem Group. I do not believe any complete hands have been found of a Spinosaurid in the Kem Kem so all reconstructions and my comments are guess work. In addition, we most likely have multiple Spinosaurids in that deposit so it's impossible to say if the bones shown are from S. aegyptiacus. Not sure what you mean by Natural....the bones are real however the specimen shown is a composite. I was trying to determine if the phalanges are proper but I really do not have any good images of that Digit but I doubt phalanx 2 & 3 should be around the same size. The poor images I've seen phalanx 3 appears smaller. The claw might have some work done to the proximal end and appears small relative to phalanx 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
