Crocodile Scutes and Dermal Plate with Suspicious Matrix

[Lucid_Bot]

Hello, I'm interested in a foot long plate of crocodile scutes and a cranial dermal plate. The bones seem real to me, but the matrix is so uniform.  They are apparently Cretaceous Morocco. Are these real bones? Are they set in the matrix they were found in? Thank you in advance.

I think they are placed in. Real bones, in a fake matrix. I think its fake, as I'm not seeing any other bone fragments like on every matrix piece this size from the Ouled Abdun basin. It seems just to perfect to be true to me.

Yes, unfortunately I think you are right. Real bones set in fake matrix. Oh, well. Thanks for the help.
