I should preface this by saying interesting to me. I am also testing out my scientific language. I’ve been studying lol It is from the Aguja Formation and it looks most like the distal? end of a Theropod toe bone. I think phalanx is the right choice of word to describe what this. This must have come from a fairly large animal. It is 2” long but not complete. It is basically split in half and is 1.25” at its widest. I have a few complete small theropod phalanx bones and this does look similar but much bigger. I question myself though because I would expect this to appear to have been more hollow maybe. I don’t think there is enough for an actual ID but one worth posting here for sure. It’s actually a pretty cool bone and was a bargain too. Pic 2 is the interior as seen from the same angle as the exterior in pic 1 Pic 3 - proximal? end viewed straight on Pic 4 - distal ? end viewed straight on and feel free to point out errors in the verbiage lol
