If your looking for keratin to make either a Argentavis saddle or pteranodon saddle I would recommend to use your strongest animal that has a saddle and go round killing carbonemys and triceratops.

Rip turtles

lol we will miss them

On fjordur in a small mountain cave use a wyvern to harvest the bones with wing flap and boom 1000s of chitin

To not kill the turtles and still get keratin kill tickle chickens or pachys.:):):):):):)

I am impressed that the turtles aren’t extinct 🤔

On ab there is a spot that is by the surface (you wont die to the sun) where you can go with a mining drill (or pickaxe) and gather the bones on the ground, ive seen people get 10,000 in one ark day, even less

You could get turtles mostly on North zone 2 and South zone 2

Triceratops can give you it but it’s not a lot

Deathworms drop like 300+ keratin and aren’t that hard to kill. Alpha deathworms I believe drop more but I haven’t tested that yet

Also you don’t need this inferior material, just tame a megatherium and become the insect anti-Christ!

Go to the surface entrances on aberration with a minig drill and harvest the bones

Carbonemys will drop a decent amount of these you an find them in swaps commonly

Thylas give really good keratin jus build a thyla trap then lure low levels into trap and kill they give like 30 keratin at high levels

A tip to get a lot of keratin early game is to go around with a crossbow and kill Carbonemys. They give between 5-20 keratin a piece and are very easy to kill.

I’ve killed many turtles and can’t get no keratin

Go to the blue zone surface entrance on aberration and farm the bones with a mining drill,you will get black box within 10seconds

Turtle and trike and so on and son

Chitin is way easier to get than keratin, however, if you want the challange and go for keratin on mobile, get a spino and circle the beachs for carbos and trikes and other things that drop keratin. Tested in SP.

Mining drill on bones in abb surface entrances

If you are in the Arctic, tame a dire wolf or sabertooth and bola a megaloceros. They never fight back, and provide a decent source of keritin if you kill a bunch.

Thorny dragins give tons of keratin, I got 68 of it from a half eaten corpse.
