Anybody know if this is a bird print in fossilized mud? There is four indentations that look to be claws. Take a look and print experts chime in if it’s anything.

Possible Fossil Bird Claw? Purisima Fm, Miocene, Capitola, Ca
kimberlight posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi, My 12-year old son and I were fossil hunting in the Purisima Fm (Upper Miocene; 3- 5 MY) at Capitola, CA for his birthday (today). We spotted what appears to be a claw?? It may have come from a Pliocene/Pleistocene sandstone from above the Purisima, as the boulder was not in place. The "claw" is curved and has a hole in the tip. At the base, there is a ball-shaped structure. Can anyone confirm if we are right, and if so, identify it. If we are WRONG (wouldn't be the first time), please give us the correct answer. Regardless, this was a fabulous B-day present for this paleontologist wanna-be. Thanks, Kimberlite
