Fossilcollector88 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Hello, Found an online sale of an indet. Raptor claw, see the link below. edit: it is something that somebody else has for sale and I decided not to purchase it. Found it unfair to have it listed here as potential fake without any clear answer. Therefore I deleted the photo’s, best answer is a link to similar fossils, so thats the informative value of this post.

Fossilcollector88 Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 (edited) Ruler is in centimeters, not inch. Some things strike me as odd, - upper view shows its a bit flat. - it has some parts to it that seem glued back, perhaps composite? - part at the knuckle part seems a bit painted or glued?

JoeS Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 These claws with the flat lower surface are mostly labeled as Pterosaur or Theropod indet. Here a rather recent discussion on the forum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossilcollector88 Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 (edited) Thanks, that link does show a few claws that are in much better shape. Perhaps pterosaur? Anyways, seller provided me with extra photo’s and it looks like an expired caramel cookie. seems glued and wither composite or fake. Is it fake?
