Partially real or complete fabrication ?
Brevicollis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I saw this Spinosaurus claw on auction today and wanted to know if its partially real or a complete fabrication. Sice : 5,2 inch It was apparently found in the Kemkem beds, morocco. @Phos_01 -
Just wondering everyone's thoughts on the I.D of this. Seller states that is was found in the Hell Creek Formation, Garfield County, Montana. Says it was a surface/close to surface find. Measures just a little under an inch straight-line. Theses are the best pictures that were sent to me sadly. Been looking at it myself along with Hell Creek Claw guides and I can't put a finger on it what may be. Still new to identifying things.

Hello all, quick question for you guys who have more knowledge than me. Is this a real raptor claw? Seller states its from the Hell Creek Formation, South Dakota. Pictures are as clear as the seller could give me. Its about .58"/1.4cm. Thanks!

Not really sure what this is but it resembles a dinosaur claw to me. This was found in a creek bank in New Jersey. Whatever it is, I'm sure its been on this earth longer than I have. My dog chewed it but i was able to get it away from him.

First post to the forum, been avidly browsing for some time having been collecting fossils for some years. Not sure whether I've just found a funky rock or if it might be a claw or tooth. Found near Whitby. Anyone able to advise please.

My son brought this home from the playground at school today we are in Spring Texas. About 2 hours from the gulf shore. He is very decided on being a scientist when he grows up with alot of focus on Dinosaurs. Did not want to disappoint him by not having an answer for his find. I appreciate yall looking at it for us! It is a very interesting shape. -
Dromaeosaur claw restored?
JorisVV posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
According to someone I know. Bought this claw as an unrestored handclaw of a dromaeosaur from the Morrison formation. Near Casper. Just under 3" long. He bought without any hesitation and I am very skeptical of it. What are you guys thoughts? Again. I am definitely not buying it, just wondering.- 2 replies

Is this a real spinosaurus foot claw?

Hi All, I'm well out of my wheelhouse with these, both in anatomy and any type of ID. These came out of a collection, and I unfortunately have no information on their origin. Each photo set show what was found in two separate specimen containers (old prescription pill bottles). Contents of each bottle seem to be associated. Hoping for an ID, or at least a general direction. Someone may even recognize the formation based on the coloring of contents of the first container. Thanks in advance! Container 1 - Those appear to be claws or talons of some sort? Tried comparing to various small animals, saw some similarities, but nothing definitive. The white coloring is giving me mid-west vibes?

I don't know how to use this site so I hope I'm doing this right. I found this flattened and petrified piece on the Missouri River in South Dakota. I'm so curious to know what it might be.

Hello! Found in NW Alabama, Franklin county, near creek. Not sure if these are fossils, but there is a perfect hole near wide edge of the larger "half". Yes, the photos are of 2 peices that appear similar/same, as with the upper and lower bills/beaks of birds..Red Color from lighter can b seen in photos. Could it/they be from Native American adornment, or even much further back in time?? thanks! Chris

Hello - This is my first post here. When I first saw this, I immediately thought it might be a tooth or some sort but dismissed it as a rock once it dried. I took a closer look the other day and noticed it did have spongy bone like texture at the ridges, and under magnification I noticed more bone like characteristics. I can't find anything like this shape anywhere. None of the teeth I've seen have roots like this, and there aren't any claws that have such a big bulbous end. Although it looks like a tooth, I don't see any straight lines/enamel like textures. This was found at a beach in Santa Cruz, Ca. This measures 4" long x 3" wide and 2" thick. It is very symmetrical. The pics represent this fossil both wet and dry to see various details. Any assistance is very much appreciated. THANK YOU!

Peace River find. I think it is a Raptor claw. Would appreciate any other possibilities. Some questions: Can we tell left or right foot ? Which digit (Obviously not hooked)? What Raptor? and finally.. Is it modern? @Auspex

Good morning! Asking for help identifying 3 fossils (two on one rock) found in riverbed in Val Verde county near Del Rio, Texas. The first 4 images are of one rock with two features. The shell imprint might be a Pecten Texana bivalve (from online fossil ID site)? The other feature might be some form of sponge like the family Clionaida?? Both features are covered with fine crystals giving a lovely glitter - any thoughts on how/why that process happened? Final three images I think are a random rock, but the shape does mimic an image online of a vertebrate toe-claw of some sort, so curious about this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
