      DescriptionExperts have teamed up with archeologists in order to analyze not only historical data from ancient times but also fossils of feared predators that have lived in specific zones within certain continents. All the researchers were very attracted by fossils from the Kem Kem group. This group is made up of two distinctive geological formations, one being the older Douira Formation and the younger Gara Sbaa Formation. These groups have been found in the Kem Kem region of eastern Morocco, also part of the Sahara Desert.
