The beds of Kem Kem They are located along the border of Morocco with Algeria. These are continental deposits belonging to the Cretaceous period, specifically the Cenomanian floor (100.5 - 93.9 million years). The area is made up of a spectacular stone cliff that stretches 250 kilometers in length and comprises a mighty 150-200m sequence of fluvial siltstones and sandstones. Various species of vertebrates, including elasmobranchs, bony fishes, coelacanths, turtles, crocodiles, pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and birds have been found in this area. It is for this reason that various researchers from the most prestigious universities have referred to this site as "an area where the danger lurks by land, sea and air".

It is precisely here, in Kem Kem, where the fossil remains of three of the largest predatory dinosaurs ever known.
