Hello all, I have been sorting through some more Waurika Permian micro-matrix recently, and I was excited to find not just one, but two claws in one day when I hadn't found a single one before this! One is larger than the other and more curved and fearsome looking (well, as far as microfossils go). The bigger one is just over 4mm and the smaller one is a bit over 2mm. I also included a piece which looks maybe like a weird helodus tooth, maybe a fish mouth plate, or maybe a tiny prehistoric iron. Its size is just under 4mm. I'll summon the experts who helped me out last time, @ThePhysicist and @jdp, would you mind taking a look at these? Claw # 1: 4mm Claw #2: 2mm Unknown fishy bit: 4mm That's all, thanks for looking!

Looking at purchasing this claw and it’s labeled as a suchomimus foot claw. There is restoration but was told only the tip has been restored. Is there more resto on this claw or any other red flags from what you can see. Any info on this claw will be appreciated!

Inexperienced and about to get scammed
Grim_realm posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Dear all, I've just stumbled upon this forum and am grateful to all of you for all the information and support you're giving. I would like to start a collection of fossils but have basically no knowledge on the matter. A few days ago I saw an auction on a common website with "expert confirmation and estimated price" and it was expiring a few hours later. I saw an opportunity and jumped on it. And by looking at the claw - I think I got scammed. So far I haven't payed for anything, but I'm being pressured to do so. Could someone tell me if all 3 are fake? The skeleton and the claw are from one seller, the skull is from another. The pictures of the claw obviously show 2 different ones, but they should be "the one" I won. Please advise

Is this a claw or something else?
-
This is a decent sized footclaw from Niger. I do get they are very hard to identify with species and that is not what I'm after. I am however after if its a Theropod claw or a Sauropod?
-
I really have no clue on this one. My best guess is some kind of Core of something. Seems to have bone structure inside. It is fossilized and heavy. Found in North Central Nebraska Miocene.

Threw this in the rock pile at first until it dried out and could see more clearly. Any ideas?

Hi guys, these days i was given this claw coming from kem kem as a birthday gift. This fossil was sold as a theropod claw, but it looks anything but to me. I assumed it could belong either to a sauropod cub or to a strange lizard not yet described. What do you think? THANKS XD

Hello, I wanted to ask about a couple fossils from the Hastings subgroup, Wealden supergroup, Wealden of Sussex. One is a tooth labeled Baryonyx and measures 0.4 cm. At that size I'm assuming this is just a tooth tip or from a juvenile? The other is a "theropod" claw measuring 0.7 cm. It's very tiny and has an odd protrusion on the underside towards the articulating end, which reminds me more of some bird claw cores. Is this even dinosaurian?

At the SMAM show. Saw this one but what is it? Khourigba, Morocco

Found this in the Peace River here in Wauchula Florida. I can't seem to figure out if it's a tooth or a claw. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I hope someone can help identify this claw from Niger. As with almost all material from Niger, information about where it was found is not available. But I hope someone has an idea based on the external features. So far, two possible options have been mentioned for this approximately 4 cm / 1.6 inches theropod claw. The options are two theropods that fall within the Noasauridea family. Option 1 is an Afromimus (Elrhaz formation, early Cretaceous) and option 2 is a Spinostropheus (Tiouraren, middle Jurassic). There's Hematite on the claw. Hope someone has an idea. Thanks in advance! - Mike

While in the Superstition Wilderness, AZ I came across tis rock with what appears as a fossil imbedded into it. To me it looks similar to a claw or perhaps a tooth. Something unique is that there are small tubular pieces comprised of the same material as the claw/tooth, and are tubular (hollow) like the skeleton pieces of a bird. Any help in identifying it, is greatly appreciated.

Suchomimus hand claw

Is this real or fake?

Is this a claw ? Was building a retaining wall and found this using natural rocks from backyard
-
Anyone see this before & maybe know what it is? Found this claw today and it has a weird spike on one side, and a bit of an odd shape too. I believe it’s ceratopsian but if it’s hadrosaur I’d appreciate the correction. DPF

Hello everyone! I’m a new member to the site but have been using and reading post for years for identification sources. I have a piece I found yesterday that I didn’t recognize and has me wondering. I found it where I have been digging mammoth remains and don’t see it coming from a mammoth. It’s fossilized bone and porous. Not sure if it’s a horn, bone, claw or what? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Getting much better with recognizing fake Spinosaurus claws, however I'm having a little difficulty with this one. I'm seeing clear bone structure, but am wondering if it's just a carved piece of bone. Any opinions, @Troodon?

Is anyone able to actually ID a claw like this? It is 9CM straight. Footclaw or handclaw even? Niger claw as you can see. And I am aware there is not that much information to ID a claw. But this one is pretty much complete.

Hi everyone, as I was looking for Carcharodontosaurus claws. I came upon this other claw instead. A handclaw (16,5 cm) from KemKem Basin, Taouz Morocco. What is your opinion on this claw?

Hi, I went to the fleamarket and bought some teeth and claws. What is this? A blackbear claw?

Went Hunting Tuesday, Opened a thread "Some finds" to discuss some of the more interesting finds to me. I had some additional finds and would like help in identifying them. They are harder than the initial set. Sorted out small shark teeth, ray teeth, etc... There are a couple of distressed Tridactyl horse teeth on the right, a shark vert so fragile it broke on discovery and also again after... First is a bone. When I saw it , I thought it was a Rhino metatarsal. It is not, but I have never seen this bone previously and that is pretty rare. That "slot" on the bone in the last photo is natural. The bone density and porosity reminds me of marine mammal... @Boesse The 2nd find is a dolphin tooth.... I found a similar small dolphin tooth at this location last June and trying to confirm (or not) that this is likely the same species. Third is a possible claw, I am wondering Armadillo, and we can always consider raptor. Bottom: Side: 4th, How about these small 13 mm rostral teeth? Are they Pristis .sp? They seem different from what I have normally found in the Peace River. Thanks for any and all comments, and responses. Jack

How’s the quality of these claw, phalanges, premaxilla
Cris Tang posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good morning. A seller sent me a video. It’s all about the claw, phalanges and premaxilla of Spinosaurus. May I have some opinions of them, please? Thank you so much IMG_8854.MOV
