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 or Direwolf with high melee damage. Another highly efficient tool for harvesting is the Metal Hatchet, but it can be harvested with a Stone Hatchet and Picks as well. Other low level items will only occasionally harvest Keratin. A very good spot to harvest Keratin is on the surface of Abberation, and in the entrances to the Surface.
