Clearance Lot: Kem Kem Dinosaur Teeth & Other Fossils - Pieces #215463

This wholesale lot contains a wide assortment of fossils, including Onchopristis barbs/teeth, small theropod teeth, a vertebra, crocodile teeth, gar fish scales, and many more. They come from the Late Cretaceous (~95 million years) Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. There are 40 specimens in this 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.
