Colorado theropod dino claw?

[Mochaccino]

Hello,

 

Anyone have any guesses what this is from? Is it a theropod footclaw perhaps? Found in Colorado, so I'm guessing Jurassic Morrison Formation.

 

Thanks.

a)  Colorado has additinal dino-bearing formations than the Morrison. 

b) I have never seen white Morrison bones

c) theropod claw would have a deeply concave proximal end (where the previous toe bone attaches)

d) This looks either carved (could be the pixelation) or modern.

This kind of doesn't look like a fossil. Maybe it is but it's nothing like I've seen.

I also do not understand the presence of "hair' on the sides. Would not it be recent ?

Do you have this in person? Sort of looks like carved wood.

Thanks everyone, I don't have it in person but it does appear to be likely not fossil at all.

Taking another look at the photo shows me that it almost looks like there are carving marks from a knife or something.

Agree it's a fake claw, looks to be carved out of wood.

I agree that it looks carved. I think it's made from fresh cortical bone though.

a flame test will answer for wood or recent bone.

I have done some woodworking projects using aspen wood. That stuff does NOT sand to a nice finish.  It always looks fuzzy, like this claw.  i wonder if itis made of aspen?
