Extremely rare Masiakasaurus ungual or foot claw. The Masiakasaurus or "Vicious lizard" was a small (2m) theropod with a very unique dentition. It suggests that they had a specialized diet, perhaps including fish and other small prey. The claw is in excellent condition with just a small restoration at the tip. The dinosaur locations in Madagascar rarely deliver claws and if they do, they are as good as always Sauropod claws or unguals. To get hold of a Theropod claw is really exceptional.
