Hi everyone! I acquired some dinosaur claw partials and am trying to learn to tell them apart. There are a few different morphologies so not all of them are Anzu (I think). Any insight would be greatly appreciated! The length measurement given is from the tip to the top of the base in a straight line Upper left, first pic set: 24 mm Upper right, second pic set: 21.5 mm Lower left, third pic set: 29 mm lower middle, fourth pic set: 25 mm (probably Anzu) Lower right, fifth pic set: 26 mm (also probably Anzu)

I dug this out of a corrugated culvert on South Willow Pond ditch under Bourbon Street in Warwick County.

Hi everyone! I speaking with a fossil dealer about potentially purchasing a big claw from Morocco It doesn't look like it's fake or restored the question is the id. Can anyone offer insight if it's deltadromaeus, dromaesaur, or something else? It measures a bit over 2.5 inches along the curve. Thanks as always!

Hello all I was offered this beauty from Sakaraha formation, Mid Jurassic (Bathonian) of Madagascar. It is ID'd as sauropod because there aren't any ornithopods known from the formation. What do people here say? It's 8 cm long .

Hello fossil friends, purchased a theropod claw seen in pictures. Approx diagonal distance of claw is ~2.9 inches (7.36cm), measurement "around the curve" is 3.5 inches (8.89cm). One repair done around the middle. Listed as a Bahariasaurus claw found in the Kem Kem beds, but my understanding was bahariasaurus was only found in egypt, or might just be a large example of deltadromeus thoughts? thanks

All 3 claws were found in the Scollard formation (Second one is possibly horseshoe canyon, but more likely scollard).

Sharing the joy. I went hunting with friends on the Peace River today. It has been a while since the last time and we decided to check out a location that had significant fossils 10 years ago and was remote. We were prospecting... stopping frequently to probe for rock, I had found a small calcaneum, a couple of tapir caps, and then we moved on to the site none of us had hunted in 10 years. In my 1st sieve, it is 79 mm long. Over the last 10 years I have found a lot of Sloth fossils, most commonly Megalonyx jeffersoni, Paramylodon harlani, and once Megalonyx leptostomus. Is it possible to identify the Sloth species based on a single claw. It might be , because so many sloth claws are sold where the species is identified. Thanks for the help...

Found this tooth/spike/claw/antler in Van Zandt county Texas. It was found amongst petrified wood similar in color. The piece is of similar feel and weight as petrified wood. The petrified wood context is of the Wilcox Group (Eocene). Attached are pictures for identification. Anyone have any idea what this is?

A little perplexed on this one. I’m guessing ghost shrimp claw perhaps? Found near Ramenessin while sifting. Tooth of some sort maybe? I’m open to options but for now thinking claw.

Decided to attempt some DIY Dino displays today. Happy with how they turned out - as long as my three year old doesn’t get ahold of them. I’m going to try the claw mount with some natural wood, maybe beach wood, in the future and spend a bit more time on it - but the first try worked out somewhat. All personal Montana finds with my buddy and my 12 year old daughter. All teeth are 100% natural except the largest brown one which has some minor repair, and the claws which have tip repair. also - I get that the tarsal bone (?) doesn’t fit the claw, but I’m no purist - and not that smart, and for display purposes in my daughters room it looks cool enough. Maybe if @Troodon wants to donate a proper bone to fit the claw I’ll fix it

Hi guys, Thanks for your help. This was found in an Arkansas cave, where there was a lot of bones, and a lot of Indian artifacts. The inside is porous and seems to be somewhat of a bone / calcium deposit I'm not sure. Please help me identify this. It doesn't feel like a rock at all, and there's also a big piece that looks like a vertebra, kind of crystallized, that was found with this.

I am attaching photos of a fossil found in a cold water spring in Texas, that I call the Luvasourus. You cannot really see everything in these pictures. The location in Texas where it was found (along with many others) is a spring with a water temp below 65 degrees. It is unique for Texas, and no one has ever seen anything quite like this. It has been reviewed by three Universities in Texas, a Paleontologist, and several others. At this point I have been told it is probably pre-dinosaur, possibly petrified, possibly a species of Brighstoneus, or even the claw of a raptor, and baby T-rex. No one knows, so posting on here to the REAL EXPERTS! I have collected fossils over 50 years. This is unique and need help. Any advice is appreciated. Side A: three footed claw foot with visible claws. One of the claws goes into side B. There is a space in between side a and b that looks like shale or limestone. Side B: Skull with teeth. Claw of Side A goes into the teeth of the skull. you must zoom in to see the teeth but two defined rows of teeth. Skull of ? The bottom circular piece fits directly into the space to the right, measuring 2.5". I believe this may be a petrified brain. In between side A and B is a space filled with what appears to be limestone or shale. The rock has a similar texture of that of a meteorite - burned looking, but caramel color, not black. In the pictures it does not show very well, but when you apply water to it, the appearance is caramel colored and looks like a clay has hardened on the mouth area of side B. When the artifact is wet, it takes on a caramel color, similar to a meteorite's color where it was burnt, but caramel colored. I will gladly do a facetime or video with someone who is an expert, as these pictures do not show everything very well. IMG 9255 - looking from nose back towards back of skull side B. IMG 9260 - side A - one of the claws of the foot. The claw is going into the teeth of side B. Zoom in to see two rows of teeth, and where the claw actually smashed the tooth. IMG 9264 - view of claw side A. Notice the dark brown areas. These areas turn caramel when wet. Notice the circular indention. This is where the leg of the claw would be located. IMG 9263 - Side B Skull. Notice from left to right = visible teeth on bottom, visible snout. Remove middle round portion and move to indented space to right bottom area - fits perfectly. The eye socket is located top middle, then back of skull. The Brighstoneus recently found has similar characteristics on the snout/nose area. I am not an expert, however I believe this is very important to someone. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Is it a fossilized claw/claw core? If yes, is it possible to ID the species?
hahnewald posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello to all, I encountered this piece among a gravel bed at low tide on a beach along the West coast of South Africa, close to Cape Town. A location where fossilized shark teeth, marine mammal bones and vertebrae from the Miocene are found alongside Pleistocene fossils like horse teeth and mammoth tooth fragments. Unfortunately, this piece is not very well preserved owing to the relentless waters of the Cape. I'd be thrilled to know if anybody could assist with an ID, and if so, point to any diagnostic features. Scale bar is in cm. Thanks to anyone having a look.

Hi, Any help with a claw, from Ganzhou, Nanxiong Formation? I hope to have better pics incoming and measurements soon. Thanks

So, I am scanning a sieve for small fossils and up pops this fossil. At a minimum, it is the tip of a long bone, but there is the possibility for more. Two things got my attention.. The texture is not common for bone. and the break (last photo) seems suggestive of claw . Your thoughts... bone, rock, claw ?

Found in the Judith river formation along the milk river. They seem to be a few claws, but unsure about the dark one that’s super hollow as well as the first one that seems to be a bit more uniquely shaped than I’m used to finding. I thought croc claw at first based off what we were finding in the area - but who knows. All three are about an inch long. thanks for the help. Deciding if they’d be worth restoring or not. sorry for the slight mix and match on the photo order

Hi everyone, would like to ask what you guys think of this labelled “Nanotyrannus Foot Claw”? Never really seen Nanotyrannus claws on the market so have no idea how to distinguish between other tyrannosaurs. And does the coat/ layer also look too thick? Almost looks like varnish? Unless its just their lighting that makes it too glossy. Thanks guys

I bought a dinosaur claw from Liaoning. I guess it is a Psittacosaurus claw. Do you have any opinions?
