Description
Rare Dinosaur Fossil Theropod Dorsal Vertebra
This fossil specimen is identified as a theropod dorsal vertebra from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. It comes from the Tegana Formation in the Kem Kem Basin and is assigned to the Upper Cretaceous, specifically the Cenomanian stage. The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive.
Geological Context
The Kem Kem Beds are an important fossil-bearing succession in the Kem Kem Basin of Morocco. This specimen is associated with the Tegana Formation, a geological unit of the Upper Cretaceous. The Cenomanian was an interval of Late Cretaceous time, making this an appealing piece for collectors interested in dinosaur fossils, Cretaceous palaeontology and the geological history of North Africa.
The formation and locality provide valuable context for understanding the environments in which prehistoric vertebrate fossils were preserved. The Kem Kem region is particularly well known among fossil enthusiasts for its diverse Cretaceous fossil record. This specimen offers a tangible connection to that important geological area while retaining a clear identification as a theropod dorsal vertebra.
Specimen Identification
A dorsal vertebra is one of the vertebrae from the trunk region of the spine. In a theropod dinosaur, these bones formed part of the axial skeleton and supported the body between the neck and sacral regions. Vertebrae are important to dinosaur collectors because they represent the animal’s anatomy directly and can be studied as individual skeletal elements.
The identification supplied for this specimen is Rare Dinosaur Fossil Theropod Dorsal Vertebra, with the additional geological identification Kem Kem Beds, Tegana Formation, Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian). The specimen is suitable for a private fossil collection, dinosaur display, educational handling collection or a geology-focused interior presentation. Its locality and formation information make it especially relevant to collectors building a themed collection of Moroccan Cretaceous fossils.
