Hi,

 

Saw this 'Pterosaur claw' for sale (first time i have seen something like this for sale) and would like to know if this is the correct id or if it is something else (i believe it might be fish but wanted to ask the experts). It is 1.3 inches long (3.3cm) and is from the Kem Kem. Thanks.

Definitely looks like a kem kem claw, occasionally fish teeth are labeled as pterosaur claws but this does not look like one of those to me. @hxmendoza this dude will probably know.

Unfortunately these are the only pictures the seller posted.

I ask this question because your initial four pics are all the same side. The last two are of the same side just upside down.

Your last pic is of the second side. Thank you.

This is one of those controversial claws. I once thought they were Pterosaur claws, but based on @Troodon‘s posting of a paper describing a similar claw, I think it may possibly be dinosaur now.
