Troodon Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 We've had lots of discussion over this morphology over the years and I've attached the most informative post. Our conclusions have been that this is most likely an indeterminate theropod claw. This is what a complete ones looks like from my collection. Since publications on claws are almost non-existent I looked at other faunas to see if there is anything we can compare against. I did find one from Brazil that compares to somewhat why we concluded its most likely theropod. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/72328-could-moroccan-dino-claws-in-fact-be-pterosaur-claws/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
