Dinosaur or Chicken Foot

This is the foot of Speckles after Alex cured it for months in salt. He and Lil arranged a rock in the claw and set it aside to air dry into a Halloween decoration.
In other words, ours is a very strange family.
And, if you ever questioned whether dinosaurs came from birds, I submit this reptilian-like claw as evidence.
Is it a trick of perspective, or is that one big chicken claw? The rock looks like an egg, which also skews the scale in my brain. It’s great that Lil can have fun with little jokes like that – she’ll be a much more interesting person for having an ‘eclectic’ childhood.
