3.25" Theropod (Raptor) Finger Bone - Montana
This is an incredible 3.25" long theropod (raptor) dinosaur distal phalange (finger bone), collected from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana. This bone would have articulated with the claw of a raptor-like theropod. Due to the similarities between these bones of dromaeosaurids and ornithomimids of the Hell Creek Formation, it's difficult to accurately provide a genus to an isolated bone such as this.
There is a repaired crack that runs along the length of this bone, with gap fill restoration in spots where the bone fragments weren't recovered. Most of the restoration can be found along the left side of the bone, with some continuing across the ventral side of the bone and into the proximal point of articulation.

Because of its age and sedimentary composition, the Hell Creek Formation has become one of the most paleontologically studied areas in the world. 158 genera of animals and 64 genera of plants are known from the formation and new discoveries are made frequently. In addition to Tyrannosaurs, Ceratopsids, and Hadrosaurs, the formation has yielded remains of amphibians, reptiles, lizards, snakes and turtles, fish and sharks, avian and non-avian dinosaurs, and mammals. The Hell Creek Formation gives the most complete understanding of the environment just before the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.
