Wait to see what more experienced members say, but I would pass on this one. They look carved or at least heavily repaired.

It's late here I will post more information when I'm at the computer and not typing on a cell phone screen. That being said I would highly recommend you stay well away from theas two pieces. Also for future reference the correct anatomical term is ungual.

The hand claw is fabricated, difficult to say how much is real on the foot claw.  Avoid both

I agree. Fabricated.

 

I think the foot claw might actually have some part of a real claw.

And while much of both of these "claws" look to be sculpted. The sculpturing seems to be a little better than most. As in, the anatomy isn't terrible. If these were priced as composites, at absolute bargain prices they might still make for a decent display piece.

 

But yeah, better to avoid these.

Fairly certain part of that "claw" is made from a hybodont fin spine.

 

Seems like that, yes...:shakehead:
