context_page_description: The Kem Kem Group is a geological group along the Algeria–Morocco border in the Kem Kem region of eastern Morocco, whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Its strata are subdivided into two geological formations, the older Douira Formation and younger Gara Sbaa Formation.
  Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the group. Recent fossil evidence in the form of isolated large abelisaurid bones and comparisons with other similarly aged deposits elsewhere in Africa indicates that the fauna of the Kem Kem Group may have been mixed together due to the harsh and changing geology of the region when in reality they would likely have preferred separate habitats and likely would be separated by millions of years.
