80+ Small Cretaceous Teeth From Kem Kem Beds Of Morocco

+ Small Cretaceous Teeth From Kem Kem Beds Of Morocco #81589

This is a lot of approximately 80, small, Late Cretaceous teeth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. These are just the small, "left over" teeth that aren't worth the effort for us to identify and photograph individually. They would make a great study collection.

The teeth represent a number of different reptiles, dinosaurs and fish. Lots of them are various crocodilians, there are a lot of fish teeth, quite a few pterosaur teeth, some baby Spinosaurus teeth, and possibly others.

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.
