2.9" Spinosaurus Jaw Section With Composite Tooth
This is a 2.9" section of fossil Spinosaurus jaw from the Kem Kem Beds, Morocco. It is a section of the Maxilla (upper jaw) bone with one tooth composited in the socket. There is also a section of a second socket.
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.
