Where Are Raptor Teeth Found in Morocco?
The Late Cretaceous “raptor teeth” of the Kem Kem Formations in Morocco are fossils of small theropod dinosaurs, often mistakenly called “raptors” (dromaeosaurids), but which are actually primarily abelisaurids, another type of carnivorous dinosaur. These fossil teeth, often slender and serrated, are difficult to identify with certainty as a specific species or even genus due to the lack of articulated bone material, although some may be attributed to unknown dromaeosaurids.
About Raptors
This is an authentic raptor tooth from the Late Cretaceous Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. These small theropod dinosaurs from the Tegana Formation have yet to be described, primarily due to lack of articulated bone material having been found. Because of this it’s impossible to accurately give a species or even genus ID to these teeth. These teeth are most commonly attributed to a type of Dromaeosaur though it’s more likely they from some type of Abelisauridae.
