Yes, Iguanodon had a large claw on each thumb. The first time a fossil of an Iguanodon thumb spike was found, it was believed to be a nose horn, because only one was found with the skeleton. We now know that there was one on each thumb and that Iguanodon may have used these spikes to defend itself from predators.
