va paleo Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 i don't think it T.Rex but it dinosaur for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 It is a Therapod claw (or at least part of one). Distinguishing between some of the Therapods and birds in the late Cretaceous may be a moot exercise, since the evolving definition is that birds are dinosaurs.

Auspex Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think this is what it should look like or some thing like this. That's sweeter than a yard of ale on a hot, dusty day!

Maryland Mike Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Have you ever drunk a yard of ale without wearing a good portion of it? I seem to remember they made those things to make it easy to hand up to a coachman at his stop (usually one of the town's taverns) so that he wouldnt' have to get down from his high seat.

bone digger Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 dinosaur claw no doubt, but highly unlikely that it is T-rex. People just call everything they can "T-rex" cause it will be more popular and worth more!!!!!! Cant believe the bidding is up to almost $200! OUCH!

kenoakee Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 yeah its funny how anything said to be "t.rex" or "nano tyrannus" makes the bidding sky rockett,sometimes even if its from the wrong age of formation.pitty realy.
