In life, archosaurs have a horny sheath over this bone, which extends the length. Ostrom looked at crocodile and bird claws and reconstructed the claw for YPM 5205 as over 120 millimetres (4.7 in) long. [2] The species name antirrhopus means "counter balance", which refers to Ostrom's idea about the function of the tail.
In 1970, Rozhdestvensky re-examined the claws and suggested a possible function specialized in opening termite mounds or a frugivore diet.

Life restoration. Machairasaurus was a small bipedal theropod, measuring around 1.5 m (4.9 ft) long. The describers established a single autapomorphy, unique derived trait: the hand claws are very elongated and blade-like in side view, with a length four times that of the joint height. The long claws would be proof that basal oviraptorids used ...
