PrehistoricAustralia Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi all, For those who haven’t caught sight of my recent introduction to the forum, I’m Henry - Hello I’m seeking verification on a dromeosaur claw I’ve found for sale. It’s a pricey piece, although I believe the piece to be genuine it’s definitely worth a second opinion before dropping the coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 It is missing the most important part, the back half. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

SULLY Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 It's a cute little guy. Maybe take a picture straight on of the back half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flx Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It looks genuine. However, I don't think it is dromeosaur. Difficult to tell though since a large part of the claw is missing. Do you know in which formation/location it was found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the replies so far all, I’ll look for some alternative angles as soon as I get a chance. The fossil was found in the Tegana formation of Kem Kem, Morroco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fossil was found in the Tegana formation of Kem Kem, Morroco Tegana formation is no longer valid, it is the kem kem beds and then you have the two main dinosaur, reptile and fish bearing formations called Aoufous and Ifezouane. Somthing about this reminds me of a bird however being only a partial it is very hard to say. For comparison this is a foot from deinonychus from troodon's collection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
