BonuFrailman Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi folks, Need some help with this fossil being advertised as a Tarbosaurus claw. Seller says it's from Mongolia (doesn't know formation) and that it is about 1 inch in length. Seller provided no other useful information so my apologies if this isn't very descriptive. If it is from Mongolia I would think that it would be theropod indet? Would appreciate some input on it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Preservation looks like Mongolia. However the lack of a well defined blood groove on both sides and that flare out on the left side says its probably not theropod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
