Sauroniops Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Found a very interesting item online. But because of the price-class of it, and because I think the connecting part of the claw looks strange for a theropod handclaw, I thought I'd post it here. What is your opinions? Is this a "Spinosaurus Hand-Claw"? I think it looks real enough, but I just haven't seen any theropod hand-claw without a broad connective-end like this one.

Fossildude19 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 This looks like carved bone, to me.

Sauroniops Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 It looks kind of weird for a claw yea. It looks like fossil material, but its shape is sort of odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Agreed very fake other than the obvious carved nature the blood groove it's the hardest thing to replicate and rarely done correctly You can see what I'm saying in my post 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauroniops Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Nice! Knew there was something strange about that claw. Thanks for confirming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SULLY Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Definitely not what it is advertised as. Strongly recommend passing on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I agree with the rest. Composited or carved bone. Stay away from this one. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Late to this one but yes random pieces of bone slapped together and carved to make what looks like a claw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
