Small claw from the Kem Kem? possible croc, turtle or small theropod?

Hi,

 

I know claws from the Kem Kem are very hard to identify since not much is published on them, but this is a small 2.1cm claw from the Kem Kem with a curved shape that makes me think that it might be enough to determine if it is theropod (as listed) or croc or even turtle. My gut tells me it is likely to be croc or turtle, but I think some members here might have claws just like this in their collection, so thought it would be worth asking.

Thanks, yeah that is what I was thinking too (well more so about the pitting and shape of curve rather than the lack of blood grooves). So I am guessing croc might be the best candidate?
