Bird or reptile claw? in Cretaceous Burmese amber

Recommended Posts

Can not enlarge the pictures to get a good look at the details, but My thinking is a plant piece.

It does not show any joints or scales-- which should be visible if it was a foot.

I also believe this is a piece of plant material.

It almost looks like a piece of false cedar needles, a bit too small and round for that though, also looks kind of similar to certain mosses.

:hearty-laugh:Lol, perhaps I am just seeing things. Everyone has 'plant vision'  To me it can't be anything but a claw.

I can see identical features in this picture, considered to be lizard claws, but it's hard to believe (at least to me) that it has a reptile origin. :)
