Alex Pritchard Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 This popped up online, some one in my local area is selling them, He's not sure what they are but says he believes them to be fossils. Look like claws to me but I've not familiar with this kind of thing. He has no info of where they are from but would like to know what they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 They look like dinosaur (foot?) claws. Without any provenance (formation, location)... it will probably impossible to tell what species they are. I am not entirely sure they are real, do you have more pictures? If they are real, cool pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It's a claw for sure but we need more information location size ect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 They look similar to resin or the like to me. 5 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 They do look like they have air bubbles in them & the color seems a bit too uniform. But that's just me. 2 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Pritchard Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 More photos he's sent me. He doesn't know local. I'm not sure if it's resin or not. Looks a bit resin like to me. He's said he thinks they are real fossils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Pritchard Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'm thinking resin, they look too similar and the colour is all one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 They look like resin replicas claws to me and identical. Not worth a risk in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Hunter02 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I agree. Definitely looks fabricated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 They look like fairly decent casts though. So if they are priced like casts, then it might still be worth it. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Identical down to the cracks... Replicas for study or display. IMO.

SULLY Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Not bad looking cast though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Looks like a fabricated pes claw. However, without more info given on the cast, cannot say much more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
