Keratin is a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is the main material of claws, hooves, horns, scales and the outer armor of reptiles.

Gathering

Keratin can be acquired by harvesting corpses with most tools and dinosaurs.

The most efficient way to harvest Keratin is by using a tamed Sabertooth Sabertooth or Direwolf Direwolf with high melee damage. Another highly efficient tool for harvesting is the Metal Hatchet Metal Hatchet, but it can be harvested with a Stone Hatchet Stone Hatchet and Stone Pick Picks as well. Other low level items will only occasionally harvest Keratin.
