AJ Plai Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 A friend of mine sent me these pictures of a dinosaur claw which has been turned into a fashion accessory (!!!!) and would like to know from what kind of dinosaur it came from: I am no expert on dinosaur claw identification, but the owner was told it's an American claw (once again, no clear locality, just North America) and a T-Rex claw which from as far as I can tell, this claw doesn't seem to look Hell Creekish, so I am very skeptical about this claim. What do claw experts here think this could be from? Assuming that these are not replica (which I frankly don't know for sure, unfortunately..)

Shellseeker Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Do a google search for "Velociraptor Claw". You will find plenty of casts that look exactly like your photo.

jpc Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 which is ironic, cuz it is certainly NOT a Velociraptor claw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Not a T Rex claw and agree with jpc much too big for a velociraptor claw they are very small. If it's from the Hell Creek may be a Anzu wyliei but I agree it does not look Hell Creekish more jurassic or early cretaceous. Really need more info on locality and age. My initial gut said allosaurid. Edit: a couple of Anzu foot claws from my collection Edited June 21, 2015 by Troodon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Plai Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) I found out that it is indeed, a cast, but just don't know from what dinosaur claw was it cast from. May be an Oviraptor claw perhaps? Edited June 21, 2015 by AJ Plai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Nice cast but makes sense since its a necklace. Anzu is an Oviraptorid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
