Velociraptor Claw (Teaching Quality Recreation) User Reviews

I used this for a necklace I created for my Jurrasic Park Ranger outfit. Nice! Durable and very convincing. Just remember the true size of Raptors are much smaller than the ones in the movie. This one is true to size.

One of my grandsons wanted this claw, the other wanted the T-Rex Dinosaur Tooth. They think that this claw is really great. They know that a real claw is very rare and fragile. The quality of this is very nice. It is durable, but not a tool to carve wood, it's a teaching instrument, for learning about Raptors. Very well made, great detail. The boys love it.

When I hold this thing I'm afraid a velociraptor is right behind me. It looks great, but be careful with it as the resin is softer than an actual velociraptor claw. It's brittle, I tried carving wood with it and it crumbled a little bit.

Velociraptor Claw (Teaching Quality Recreation)

Velociraptor (Actual Size) - Velociraptor is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that existed approximately 75 to 71 mya (million years ago) during the later part of the Cretaceous Period. Only two species are currently recognized, although others have been assigned in the past. The type species is V. mongoliensis; fossils of this species have been discovered in both Inner and Outer Mongolia in central Asia. A second species, V. osmolskae, was named in 2008 for skull material from Inner Mongolia. Smaller than other dromaeosaurids like Deinonychus and Achillobator, the turkey-sized Velociraptor nevertheless shared many of the same anatomical features. It was a bipedal, feathered carnivore with a long, stiffened tail and an enlarged sickle-shaped claw on each hindfoot, which is thought to have been used to kill its prey. Velociraptor can be distinguished from other dromaeosaurids by its long and low skull, with an upturned snout. Velociraptor (commonly shortened to 'raptor') is one of the dinosaur genera most familiar to the general public due to its prominent role in the Jurassic Park motion picture series. In the films it was shown with anatomical inaccuracies, including being much larger than it was in reality and without feathers. It is also well known to paleontologists, with over a dozen recovered fossil skeletons—the most of any dromaeosaurid. One particularly famous specimen preserves a Velociraptor locked in combat with a Protoceratops.
