Brevicollis Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Hello, I saw these moroccan Spinosaurus toe bones on auction today and wondered If they are real or not. They look pretty good and real, but before I should bid on them, I better have it confirmed or debunked. @Phos_01 1 2 My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : Im just a guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBkansas Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'm no expert but that seems pretty small for spino. Was there a location provided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevicollis Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Kemkem beds only. But I have a toe bone of Spinosaurus thats even smaller than that, so probably from a juvenile.

rocket Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) possible, the digits of Spinosaurs are very different, depending on there position. Looks like the Position ph IV, digit 3 or 4 distal end looks bit restored Edited July 1 by rocket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phos_01 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Not much is known from the Kem Kem beds, what also makes it interesting in a way. Its definitely a real toe bone , and a fairly good one , just missing a bit of bone on the right lower side looking at photo nr4 Its not that small. Could be a spinosaurid / Sigilmassasaurus aff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
