Flashlight Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Currently working on cataloging my fossil collection as best as I can, and am uncertain on this one. I don’t doubt the authenticity of the fossil itself or stated region based on other examples, but the “Spinosaurus sp.” given by the plate it came with feels awful presumptuous, so I’ve currently settled on a sweeping “Spinosauridae” classification. Does anything about this point to something more specific, or something more vague? Can provide more/better images if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jikohr Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It's a nice looking vert! Can we see more pictures? That and measurements like length, thickness, and height will help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Well, I don't know what it is, but I do know that there isn't a Tegana Formation in the Kem Kem, or, indeed, anywhere in Morocco. Though it's a common enough mistake even in some published articles and papers. And the Kem Kem is Cenomanian which is Late Cretaceous. There isn't a Middle Cretaceous, though I get what they mean as the Cenomanian is sort of in the middle of the period, but it, coupled with an incorrect formation, suggests the label maker doesn't know his stuff.
