I don't really believe in the measurements being on-point. This skull needs to be measured properly, in a straight line as you said.

Also, I suspect that this particular skull belongs to to an adult male from the wild. As @GuateGojira has mentioned, obviously, the Tower of London specimens were captive. Therefore, it is interesting to have a wild specimen. Can you contact them to ask them to measure the skull "in a straight line"? Thank you.

From Dinoland, it has been sold out many years ago, and you can contact the owner of this website. https://dinolandplus.com/ BTW, the straight line is probably around 16 inches, and it obviously belonged to a wild male Barbary lion, so definitely much more robust those captive specimens.

I was checking the image and certainly that skull is less than 16 inches. Other thing, the saler will be incredible lucky if his history is correct, which are the probabilities to found a skull from a wild Barbary lion? Think about it, it sound to good to be real. How he got it? Were he actually got it? Which are the credentials of this skull? Is the skull real? There are too many questions that make me think that the entire story is fake and that the skull could be from another captive lion IF is actually a real skull (oh yes, this can be also a reproduction only!). Even if is real, the nasal opening is so big that remember more the skull of an American "lion" Panthera atrox than that of a moden lion Panthera leo. So, I think that the entire situation is very fishy, the reliability of the skull is also in doubt and from the "Barbary" side, I will trust only in the specimens that we can actually verify from reliable sources, and a webpage that sold things like that page, or Ebay for example, is not reliable in my book. 
I have this picture here. I took a pic from a study when i was looking at some other study topics. Im trying to find the study but for now i have just a picture. Here is a lion with a Claw length of 8.1 cm using pixel scaling. Was already quoted to be a large one...

Intersting as it is, there is no document, chapter or study, that I am aware, that mentions the length of the claws in lions. There are some mentions in webpages with no references, but that is all. So I will not be surprised if the claws of lions reach the 8 cm over the curve. In fact, it seems that only Mazák took the patience to measured the claws of the tigers, which reach up to 10 cm over the curves, and some of his animals were of great size. In this case, I think that 8 cm on the curve is a good size for the claw of a lion. (01-28-2022, 01:42 AM)Pckts Wrote:(01-27-2022, 11:34 PM)SpinoRex Wrote: I have this picture here.

For the 5cm i got 231 pixels and for the claw overall 373. (01-28-2022, 01:48 AM)tigerluver Wrote:(01-27-2022, 11:34 PM)SpinoRex Wrote: I have this picture here.
