Hi everyone!

 

I'm fairly certain there's no funny business on this one, but I don't know what type of critter it could be since I'm fairly certain 99.9% of Moroccan claw pics online are of fakes and the remaining 1% are misidentified.

37.5 mm long

12 mm tall

8 mm wide

What do you all think? Dinosaur? Croc? Turtle? Pterosaur?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always!

This seems to me to be a small crocodylian claw, or possibly large turtle. Doesn't seem particularly dinosaurian.

I dont believe this is dinosaurian looks more reptlian.  Lacks a strong blood groove and profile too compressed.

Which criteria do you look at to differenciate dino/croc/turtle ?

So Crocodyliform or turtle then. Kinda figured. Glad I checked.

And a strong blood grove is what says dinosaurian? Good to know!

Does anyone have any pics of actual Moroccan dinosaur claws that aren't fakes for future reference? I'm honestly not sure I've ever even seen a picture of one.

Thanks for chiming in guys!
