Swimmin' with the fishes
These were labeled as Cretaceous fish scales from the Kem Kem group in Morocco. Some appear to be diamond like shaped and possibly polypterid in nature? I'm aware there's other 'armor plated' fish in the Kem kem group, but my first hopeful thought is some of these might be B. Barthelli? Just due to size and that they're from the Kem Kem group. The problem with this hypothesis being they've only been found in Egypt, not Morocco. Of course it could be one of many other ancient fish.
I've reached out to the seller to find out more hopefully
