mburkett Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I just got my large Acheroraptor temertyorum digit II-3 killing claw back from the restorer. He added the missing 1/4” back on to the top of the articulating end and added the missing 3/4” of the tip. The rest of the claw is complete, as it was found nearly whole. It’s one of my prized possessions and I am so happy with the restoration work. The claw was found in Powder River County, Montana’s Hell Creek Formation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mburkett Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Thanks guys! The claw is 3 and 3/4” around the curve. Here’s a pic of the before pic... Henry didn’t do the restoration work on this claw. But he restored this Acheroraptor hand claw I just got back. He’s extremely good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
