Rockwood Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think it's a claw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossil of Egypt Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 ok , I agree it is not a claw , let me guess ( imagine ) that : it is a well preserved intact toe of an ancient bird ( or dinosaur ) , I mean bone not exposed and the keratin tissue still covering the toe . It is just an imagination , could be wrong . I used to make mistakes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The tiny circular fractures suggest it is a piece of flint or chert. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishkeeper Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 It is most definitely not an entire fossilized toe. Soft tissue doesn't preserve that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
