Joy_Fossils Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 We found our first ever theropod claw the other day, which is one of the best finds this year! It is only the tip of a claw, but we are super happy with it! Because only the tip of the claw is there, we are having trouble identifying which theropod the claw belongs to. It is rather thin and doesn’t have a flat bottom, so we ruled out the possibility of it being an ornithomimid foot claw. My son asked around, and has gotten mixed opinions from everyone he asked. I figured making an id post should be helpful, so please let us know what you think the claw might be! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 a cool find, congrets! I think it is very difficult to find a destination. It will probably stay with “indet”... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB003 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Agree with rocket. The reason for mixed responses is you need the other end of the claw to help determine what it could be. If it's just the tip it's definitely not small though so that should rule out some things at least! 1 *Frank* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
