Dinosaur Claw

 

The predatory, meat-eating dinosaurs had large sharp serrated teeth as well as menacing claws at the ends of their hands and feet. This claw is a hand claw from the Jurassic-age predator, Allosaurus. It is approximately 3 inches in length. The portion of the claws actually preserved are the bone cores. In life a sheath of material would cover the claw and would be razor sharp for slashing at their victims. The groove in the side is for a major blood vessel, similar to the blood vessels seen in the claws of cats and birds today. This specimen was excavated from the Jurassic Morrison Formation at the Dinosaur Safaris Inc. dig site in Wyoming. -- Text and Photo by: Bob Simon


 The name "dinosauria" was choosen by Dr. Richard Owen, an English doctor. Owen first used the word in his "Report on British Fossil Reptiles" presented  to the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1841. "Dinosaurs" is a combination of two Greek words"deinos (fearfully great)" and "sauros (a lizard)." Thus the name literally means "fearfully great lizard." not terrible lizard.
