Largest complete dinosaur claw found in Gobi Desert – The History Blog
thehistoryblog.com/archives/72

"Named Duonychus tsogtbaatari, the previously-unknown Cretaceous dinosaur had two-digit hands with lethal curved claws nearly a foot long. The newly-discovered fossil preserved both of the claws of both hands, plus the keratin sheath of one of the digits. The keratin sheath adds more than 40% to the length of the claw."

Yesterday, #KielScales25 was about #RaisingWaters, obsolete conecpts in Archaeology, #ScalesofTransformation or contacts between Danes and Slavs in the #MiddleAges. The day ended with an inspiring keynote lecture by Carla Jaimes Betancourt on urbanism and landscape engineering in Pre-Columbian Bolivia. Today we are continuing some topics, but also adding new ones, for example #AIinArchaeology. The whole programme: events.kielconference25.smart-

ohhhhh with the snapping, it's like a promissory note or early parentage ID for example.
Count down to wedding, if prehistoric peoples even did marriage?
Good point about "probably not just one purpose" tbh.
