Mikej_fossils Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I bought a dinosaur claw from Niger. Locality is always a problem, but I am hoping to get an general label on this claw. So far I got two suggestions from my own network: it looks like a Sauropod claw or Iguanodontian. Most sauropod claws in my collection are 'flatter' (vertical) and more oval. This claw more round and flat (horizontal). The claw is 12 cm (long) and 5 cm (high). Hope to get some more insights on this nice claw. Thanks!

rocket Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 nice claw The identification of the claws from Niger is really not easy..., lot of species around there, but really really not enough papers about Reminds me to a foot claw of Ouranosaurus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikej_fossils Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 @rocket Thanks for the reply! Yeah, there isn't a lot of information on Niger claws. And the animals have different shaped claws on the different digits. Got some information on UK Iguanodon claws - it could be the same type but I am not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikej_fossils Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 This is the additional information I got on Iguanodon (UK) - see the drawing (but I don't know if Ouranosaurus or Lurdusaurus is similar). The other pictures are my other two Iguandontian claws. The black one is likely a footclaw and the brown one a handclaw (Ouranosaurus?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
