ThickHead808 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Hi all, A friend in North Carolina has this (among many other) box of bones from Morocco that need some sort of ID or general push in the right direction. I haven't been staring at bones long enough to make sense of these, but the tray they're sitting in is 15 inches long. My own personal uneducated guess is that I see some metacarpals and other small hand bones, a metatarsal or two, etc. , but I welcome outside opinion. I have my eye on the one top right, first in the group of 3 so I'm especially curious about that one. Mahalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Is there any further information on these items origin, besides "Morocco"?

ThickHead808 Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Hi Tim unfortunately the owner just said Kem Kem which probably won't help much. He was claiming Spino and Carcharo etc but to me it seems more like extinct crocodilian bones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Maybe half of these seem to be composites or have restored parts. These seem to be mostly finger bones of large animals, and perhaps limb bones of smaller animals. But which animals they are from is hard to say. 1 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
