There was a loster (<i>H. americanus</i>) caught locally with two claws on the one side. The right claws fixed finger (propodus) sprouted an entire second claw structure opposite to the movable finger (dactyl). It was much smaller and a mirror image of the normal claw with the plane of the mirror through the fixed claw. In essence it had a second smaller movable finger below the main claw structure. Weird and cool at the same time. Is that a result of Hox genes in the first ?
