6.8" Raptor Jaw Section With Six Teeth - Morocco

This is a rare, jaw section from a small theropod dinosaur (raptor). It comes from the Late Cretaceous Kem Kem Beds (formerly Tegana Formation) of Morocco. While individual teeth are relatively common, the more fragile bone material is very rare. The jaw section is 6.8" long and displays 8 tooth sockets. Six teeth found nearby have been composited into the sockets in the jaw.

These small theropod dinosaurs from the Kem Kem Bedshave yet to be described, primarily due to lack of articulated bone material having been found. Because of this it's impossible to accurately give a species or even genus ID to these teeth. They are most commonly attributed to a type of Dromaeosaur though it's more likely they from some type of Abelisauridae.
