patrickhudson Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Found in the Judith river formation of north central Montana. Measured in inches. All three items found within a few feet of each other, along with many other chunked up bones and a few other broken teeth and “claws?” I only thought raptor because of the very hollow bone combined with the tooth and claw. But I obviously I really have no clue. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Tyrannosaurid tooth Theropod claw tip Theropod proximal end of a bone might be a phalanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Not a Tyrannosaurid claw. Cannot say its raptor might be an Oviraptorid so unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I agree with @Troodon's IDs. Maybe @hxmendoza can help as he's good with claw IDs. Also Troodon made this helpful guide which you can check out. It's from his Hell Creek collection so not the exact same species you'd be working with but similar enough in fauna and morphology.
