3.7" Fossil Dinosaur Rib Bone Section - Morocco
This is a 3.7" wide section of unidentified dinosaur rib bone from the Kem Kem Beds, Morocco. This specimen is from near the terminal end where the rib joins the spine. The head of the bone is missing as well as the distal end.
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.
