This is a 2.8" fossil crocodylimorph tibia from the Kem Kem Beds, Morocco. This specimen is from the back left leg . It is in very good condition with a repaired crack at the distal end.
The Kem Kem Group is famous for yielding a diverse Late Cretaceous vertebrate assemblage, including fish, reptiles, and dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus. These fossils are found in a thin bed that outcrops around the edge of a large plateau near Taouz, Morocco. Local miners collect these fossils by digging narrow tunnels by hand into this plateau, following the layer.
