Abstract
The newly organized Long Island Natural History Museum (LINHM) has assembled a small collection of fossil vertebrates from the Cretaceous of Morocco. Among the remains in this collection are two spinosaurid (Theropoda) teeth and one sauropod tooth that we refer to either the Diplodocidae or Titanosauridae. Because of the scarcity of spinosaurid and Cretaceous sauropod teeth, a short description of the material is presented here. In addition to the dinosaurian remains, the collection includes an unidentified crocodilian tooth and a tooth identified tentatively as that of a pterosaur, which we also describe briefly. Furthermore, there are other fossil reptile teeth from the Ksar es Souk Province in the collections of the LINHM. Some of these may represent groups of reptiles other than those discussed here, but the taxonomic identity of these teeth is still being determined.Keywords
