Struthiomimus sp Digit 1 Manus Claw Fossilized Replica

Struthiomimus sp. Digit 1 Manus Claw
66 Million Years BP
Late Cretaceous
Maastrichtian
Hell Creek Formation
Harding Country, South Dakota

Struthiomimus was a “bird mimic” dinosaur from North America.  Their long arms were tipped with sharp claws.  The claws of digits 2 and 3 were very straight (see SN-14), but the thumb claw, digit 1, was slightly opposed and curved.  Struthiomimus could have been capable of grasping its prey or causing deep slashing wounds.   Its long legs and compact body allowed it to run very fast.
