carch_23 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Hey all, Just got these teeth and was wondering if you guys can ID a species to them? Here are the deets… Age: Late Cretaceous. Locality:- Fluvial sandstone deposits, Kem Kem Formation. West of Hamada du Guir. Errachidia Province. MOROCCO. They were labelled as coloborhynchus moroccensis but I thought the coloborhynchus was only found in UK.I’m not really familiar with Moroccan locality to this detail other than the “Kem Kem beds” so maybe my locality provided narrows the ID possibilities? they sort of look like sirrocopteryx/ coloborhynchus teeth but based on older pterosaur ID threads, would it be safer to label these as ornithocheirid indet? Thanks for the help in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.cheese Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I will watch with interest as I sell Pterosaur teeth from the Kem Kem beds also and they can be a pain to id so I have started just labelling as Pterosaur only! They are the same as yours so fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 This is the Pterosaur species list provided by Ibrahim et al. 2020 With multiple toothed pterosaurs present the best call is an indeterminate Ornithocheirid Just an fyi the Kem Kem is not a formation but a deposit identified as the KK Beds. Its consists of several formations known as the KK Group. The formations in the group are shown below. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carch_23 Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 Hi Frank! It was actually your response from a few years back that I saw you mention to label these teeth as rather a Ornithocheirid indet lol. Thank you so much for that! Might be a dumb question, but Id just like to confirm what I should make of the other provided provinces/ localities if thats okay. Would saying that the Kem Kem beds are located in West of Hamada du Guir, Errachidia Province, Morocco, be correct? Just Ive never really heard of them other than the usual Kem Kem, Morocco. And if so, would it be correct to describe the locality as this for all my Kem Kem, moroccan stuff? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
