Used to slash and pin prey, these curved, recurved claws are among the most iconic structures in the dinosaur fossil record. This \u003cstrong\u003eUtahraptor claw cast\u003c\/strong\u003e is mold-sourced directly from a specimen at the \u003cstrong\u003eCollege of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it institutional provenance and making it one of the most authentic raptor claw reproductions available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Weapon That Defined a Predator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis raptor sickle claw fossil replica measures 9 inches along the curve --  the full, sweeping arc of an actual Utahraptor ungual, rendered in every detail.
