Haravex Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 @Troodon I feel you are somewhat more educated on identifying ungual's and don't want to make an incorrect call. Actually let me help in saying getting a picture of the proximal view (the back, where it articulates) would be helpful and also an in focus close up of the ventral view (bottom, where it would touch the ground) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 There are no Kem Kem theropod claws that have been described to a genus or species just a few to a family level so there is no way to provide you a species.. Yours might be a juvie indeterminate spinosaurid but I'm not certain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haravex Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 It does however just one step at a time now the big one I remember reading in this journal is the tiny little holes where the evidence it was not a fully developed ungual, hence the request for a close up either through a microscope or a loupe, but it must be clear use a tripod, good lighting either natural or bright lights good quality camera if possible don't hold the claw do nothing to make it shake and also straight on angles like shown no obtuse.

LordTrilobite Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Yep, looks like juvenile Spinosaurid pedal ungual to me. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
