Description
Awesome specimen. Part of the body of this huge fish is preserved. All the scales are associated and anatomically articulated in a natural way. A magnificent and very rare example of this huge representative of the Cretaceous Lepisosteiformes. It has some small glued and tiny filled fractures.


The abundant fish fauna which can be found in the cretaceous layers of the Kem Kem Basin is large and varied. Recently Cavin et al., (2015) made an important revision of the cretaceous association of continental fish in the south of Morocco.
