Help ID'ing Hell Creek Claw?

Recommended Posts

On my welcome post, I had mentioned that I was looking for a claw for my daughter.  I was able to contact someone that has a claw that was found by them in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana.

 

They state that it is from an Alvarezsaurus.  I know very little about this dino.  Only thing I could find when looking up Alvarezsaurus in Hell Creek is this Wikipedia Trierarchuncus  It seems like not much is known about this particular species in Hell Creek.  So, can any of you more knowledgeable folks identify this as an Alvarezsaurus, or possibly something different?  Looks to me like it would be from it's foot.

 

Thanks a ton for any help you can offer up!

Its a hand claw of Trierarchuncus prairiensis.

 

Looks pretty nice and complete which is rare.   You should get a locality where its from to complete its provenance
