4.8" Fossil Theropod Humerus - Morocco
This is a 4.8" fossil theropod humerus from the Kem Kem Beds, Morocco. This specimen is from a small or juvenile theropod. It has repaired cracks and some surrounding substrate still attached. The head (ball) of the humerus is missing.
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.
