Extremely rare pare of Masiakasaurus unguals or foot claw, both belonging to the same foot. 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 claws are in excellent condition with no restoration at all. 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.
