Fossil description
We present a set of three fossil ribs from the Valley of Kem Kem, Morocco. These completely natural pieces could belong to a theropod, such as Spinosaurus, a raptor, or another carnivorous dinosaur from the region.
The Kem Kem Valley is known for its diversity of dinosaur fossils, especially theropods. Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, for example, was a semi-aquatic predator with a bone structure adapted for hunting in aquatic environments. Other theropods, such as dromaeosaurids, also inhabited this region, although their presence is less frequent in the fossil record.
This set of ribs represents a unique opportunity for collectors and paleontological studies, offering a glimpse into the anatomy of the great predators of the Cretaceous.
Restoration
Completely natural fossils, without restorations.
