Troodon Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 This type of claw believe its from Uzbekistan is from an indeterminate Therizinosauroidea dinosaur . Therizinosaurs are distinctive theropod dinosaurs with various features suggestive of herbivorous habits and in no way related to raptors. Claw from my collections that is similar to the one you posted. Its a foot claw not hand.

It is very rare date about Therizinosauroidea from Uzbekistan on the internet. How to tell if it's hand claw or foot claw? My claw is hand or foot claw?

Troodon Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Your claw is a foot claw There are several features but the easiest way is to look at the articulation surface. A hand claw articulation knotch is smaller, located higher and typically shaped as a half moon A foot claw has a much wider articulation surface, usually spaning most of the distal end of the claw 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
