Cris Tang Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi, I'm new here. My name is Cris. One of my friend told me my claw is fake fossil. So he suggested me to post the pictures here. Please help. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The proximal end might be real with some resto but the rest of the claw is fabricated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hello, Cris, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. That claw looks very dodgy to me. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think this is likely a composite of different claw pieces or random pieces of bone. At the very least it definitely looks quite suspect in some places. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 So troodon hypothetically if you had bought this without knowing this information it would be an idea to seek getting a return/refund on said claw correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruger9a Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The last portion of the tip also looks like it may have been repaired or is from another specimen. I agree with Troodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
