Dino1 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hey guys, I saw this shown as a “raptor”/dromaeosaur claw. What do you guys think? Is it dromaeosaurid? Is it a dinosaur claw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Very little is published describing small claws from the Kem Kem Group. However if you compare your claw to images of Cretaceous Crocodyliforms from Niger and Brazil there are strong affinities to them. A different species of Araripesuchus is present in KK deposits.

Dino1 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Does that means that this is most likely a crocodile claw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Yes most likely a Crocodyliform 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
