caimano Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) Hi, can anyone tell me if this bone could be the scapula of a Spinosaurus? The fossil has not been manipulated, i think. Some Info: Origin: Morocco Dinosaur: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus Dimensions: 33×24×4 cm Edited September 12, 2023 by caimano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Here is a 3d scan of the distal part for comparison: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/collections-database/chordata/dinosaurs/spinosaur-shoulder-blade-r1740/ Best Regards, J Try to learn something about everything and everything about something Thomas Henry Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daze Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Saw this for sale too, but I have strong doubts, especially the 'ridge' on the first two photos doesn't seem to fit the morphology of a scapula in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opabinia Blues Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) There appears to be a tone of restoration on this fossils. I would be very cautious. Any time there’s matrix on Kem Kem fossils it’s a red flag, although occasionally it is there for legitimate reasons, not just to hide work done.
