35 Unidentified Dinosaur & Reptile Limb/Foot Bones - Kem Kem Beds

Unidentified Dinosaur & Reptile Limb/Foot Bones - Kem Kem Beds #81606

This is a lot of 35 unidentified, fossil limb/foot/hand bones from the Late Cretaceous, Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. They would represent both dinosaurs and other reptiles. They range from .35 to 2.8" long and many are complete while some are partial, some have repairs. The largest one looks like it's two partial bones composited together

This is a nice lot for some that enjoys doing research and identification. If identified and sold individually these bones would fetch many times the price of the lot. They've just been sitting on the shelf and we don't have time to do the research so we are selling them as a lot.

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.
