Spinosaurus Dinosaur Claw
Spinosaurus
Cretaceous
Kem Kem Valley near Taouz, Morocco
Dinosaur claws are far more rare than dino teeth because dinosaurs' teeth were replaced during their lives, whereas claws were not. Spinosaurus was a huge theropod dinosaur genus that was even larger than T. rex. Its enormous long, narrow skull was more crocodile-like, as were its unserrated peg-shaped teeth. It is now believed that Spinosaurus spent most of its time hunting in water and its flat feet may have been webbed for swimming. Measuring 3 1/2in
