A possible cat claw?

[Kane]

Thanks for the closer images. Given the irregularity of the shape, absence of symmetry, and lack of much by way of any diagnostic detail, it still appears non-fossil geologic to me.

I was thinking the same that it could be geologic, but it isn't. If some of you would took this and see in person, it's clear that is some sort of bone. At the end of this "Claw" is some kind of a little hole with a perfect sharp line. I can't took better photos, cause this is the best i could. Also it's not worn like a soil, or heavy like a rock. It's very light.

Well it's clear that is not a fossil, i was talking all the time about archeologic stuff and locality where i found bunch of stuff. Thanks.

Ah, therein may lie the confusion as this was posted in Fossil ID.

Fossil or not, the thing is not a claw core.

And i can still say that it's not some claw-shaped rock or even rock at all. It is a bone and that's for sure, i didn't said that is a claw but i see clearly that is some sort of bone. I also clean the extra dirt from it, and i can also see that is a spongy bone because of some little holes in it, so it's not a rock. I respect different opinions of you guys but it just can't be a rock.

I think then that we will unfortunately have to agree to disagree.

 

It seems that the general consensus here, based upon the provided data, is that it is not a claw at all, but may be something geological in nature. (I too think a suggestively shaped rock) 

 

However, I agree with what you said earlier:

It may be necessary to have this in hand to see the level of detail that you do. Identifying something from pictures is difficult at the best of times, and impossible at the worst. Even with the best pictures possible (i.e. best lighting, angle, focus, etc.) it still can be a monumental task to identify some items.

 

I would suggest showing it to someone at a local museum or university that can see it up close and in person. Maybe they can better assess the specimen for ID.

 

Good luck, and let us know if you get a positive ID. Curious minds want to know! Personally, I hope you prove us wrong.

Thanks for understanding! I will show to some experts for vertebrates at my university and we will see. I hope i will have answers soon as possible and i will let you know.

Thanks everyone for help, much appreciated !
