Per Christian Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I purchased this claw as a Struthuiomimus claw, it was advertised as such. I later on realized it's probably a turtle claw however.. it's from the hell creek formation What do people here think? It's 4.5 cm long @Troodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Yep it's turtle 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meganeura Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) So I'm only comparing to claw cores from Florida here, so take everything I say with a grain of salt cause of that - but it definitely resembles a croc claw core over a turtle claw, turtle claws are more curved from what I've seen. Oh, Troodon commented and said turtle anyway, so just ignore me. Edited December 18, 2022 by Meganeura Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the help When you look at theropod claws distinct blood grooves should be present on both sides. Here is a link that can assist if you have not seen it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
