3.8" Fossil Crocodile Jaw Section - Kem Kem Beds, Morocco
This is a 3.8" section of fossil crocodylimorph jaw from the Kem Kem Beds, Morocco. It is a section of the upper jaw with a full tooth socket and partial 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.
