Claws? teeth?

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.

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.

They do look like they have air bubbles in them & the color seems a bit too uniform. But that's just me.

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

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.

They look like resin replicas claws to me and identical. Not worth a risk in my opinion. 

Agreed!

They look like fairly decent casts though. So if they are priced like casts, then it might still be worth it.

Identical down to the cracks...
Replicas for study or display. IMO.
