My sons wife found this claw and would like to know what animal it came from. Could it be a badger?

Hard to tell.

 

It could have been a longer claw. See where it broke off at the top of the picture? Where abouts was it found?

It could be from a beaver also, a front incisor, they are hollow.

I have a muskrat skull with a tooth like that which is similar but only 1 inch long. Got it off a rail line, poor thing got clipped by a train.

The claw was found last week on a farm in Leamington On. It's only about a km north of Point Pelee on Lake Eire.

it Looks like a Beaver Tooth. i have seen this many times from front beaver teeth, after they decay outside from the weather. they split apart.

Roger is right, it could have been part of a longer claw... but I don't think its a beaver tooth (see  below - that's a beaver tooth). Given where it was found,  it being from a badger isn't a bad guess (see map). Apparently, there are less than 200 badgers in Ontario.
