2.15" Fossil Crocodile Tooth - Kem Kem Beds, Morocco
This is a large, Cretaceous aged fossil crocodile tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco.
The Kem Kem Beds are 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.
