Thanks for everyone's comments! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Looks like a carving to me. Also, the Cretaceous is much older than 980,000 years ago. 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The claw is real missing the articulating side (the large end)and matrix was added to make it look more complete. There is a slight color change, a break and an odd longe curvature so it's possible it's a composite. I would lean more towards a composite than not. Would have to hold it to verify but would avoid it. We also have no idea what type of dinosaur this comes from. What complete ones look like, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 FYI -The species Dromaeosaurus is only known from North America -The Kem Kem is not a formation but a deposit. It's actually called the Kem Kem Group and consistent of 6 or 7 different Formations -It's Cenomanian in age -It's Taouz not Toz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
