MedicineHat Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm curious if this is a beat up claw. I found it mixed in a micro site with vertebrate dinosaur material. It's small and weathered but resembles claw-like features. I'm hoping the photos represent it but not confident. I know others here could identify some subtle characteristics. It looks like random bone fragment from far but when no look closely I see possibility of a claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 It kind of looks like the partial claw of a small theropod.. -Christian Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

MedicineHat Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hi guys, thanks for the comments. I agree that it looks like a claw of a small theropod but I have not seen all kinds and I'm sure there are many. Claw material is so rare even to just find beat up pieces. @hxmendoza, would you be able to weigh In? Troodon has also been generous in his insights and knowledge. Thanks again guys.
