'Switchblade' claw reveals how dinosaur fought

The newfound 75-million-year-old dinosaur is a feathered raptor namedTalos sampsoni— "Talos" in homage to a winged bronze giant in Greek mythology that could run at lightning speed and that succumbed to a wound to his ankle, "sampsoni" in honor of Scott Sampson of the PBS series "Dinosaur Train," and a research curator at the Utah Museum of Natural History.

The raptor dinosaurs, made famous by the book and film " Jurassic Park," all possessed unusually large, sickle-like claws on the second toes of each foot, which they held off the ground like folded switchblades.

They evolved into Cypriot barbers, but the claw moved to the little finger, or is that for piking their nose?
