Re: So-called sickle claws
In the message you wrote 1-OCT-1997 00:59 you compared talons of raptors to
dromaeosaur claws. I don't really think that was a real good comparison
because raptors' talons are used for grasping and holding prey, not cutting
or slashing like I've been saying about dromies. It's probably worthless to
argue about my ideas because the truth will probably never be known, unless by
some strange occurence the sheath was fossilized and found. I'm just going
by some reproductions I've seen of the claw with the sheath. In these the
sheath has lots of grooves in it.
I'm definitely no expert on dromies (yet)
