Authentic spinosaur claw

I know the general shape is right for a spinosaur toe claw, but I know spinosaur claws are a significantly faked thing, so getting someone who really knows what they're looking at, is the way to go!

Looks like it could be completely authentic. I don't see any obvious red flags. The underside is a bit lumpy, but that might just be matrix that's still sticking on.

The Spinosaurid diagnostic features on the ventral side are missing since the back end is gone but from what is there does appear to be one.   However this cannot be identified to a either a Sigilmassasaurus or Spinosaurus sp.

That padding like stuff on the bottom is supposedly not matrix, and is apparently fossil. Has anyone seen that before? Does THAT seem like a red flag?
