Spinosaurus hand claw

[Toast123]

Location is kem kem beds, seller said less than 5% restoration. I know nothing about claws but this one almost looks too good to be true and too perfect but I’m not sure how to definitively tell if it’s real or fake

Here's something to check out:

The images are too blurry for me to see clearly, but there does not seem to be any bone structure. I'd wager it's a fake, especially if it's for a ridiculously low price, but I don't think I could say for sure unless you can find some less blurry images to post. I'd recommend you read this thread that has a lot of helpful information on purchasing Spinosaurus claws:

Doesn't look right.  Some better pics to see if bone and or carved are needed.  My problem is I dont trust much of anyone nowadays and have seen a TON of fakes.

l think this is a nice carving in ?bone or whatever. Lot of these claws on the market, but most of them a piece of artwork

Carved.  Odd how the made the toe joint end come to a point.

Badly carved fake. 

Run away.

Yeah that joint end is crazy! How did they expect the claw to connect to the rest of the foot

It probably has "Made in Erfoud" carved into it somewhere.
