1.35" Partial Ornithomimus Foot Claw - Montana

This is a partial foot claw of a small theropod dinosaur, most likely Ornithomimus. It was collected from the Two Medicine Formation (Judith River Group) of Eastern Montana. It's missing a tiny portion of the tip and portion of the back of the claw where it would articulate with the toe bones. There is weathering all along the outside surface, but even dinosaur claws this complete are rare finds.

Ornithomimus was a swift bipedal theropod which fossil evidence indicates was covered in feathers, equipped with a small toothless beaked head that may indicate an omnivorous diet.
