Awesome thanks. Any idea of what it could be based off size? What do you think it is likely to be judging off of factors on the bone or just probability?

If Troodon knew more, he'd let you know - unfortunately bone is... bone. Without distinct shape, you can't ID it much if at all.

Awesome thanks. Which is more statistically probable just from what’s been found there? I’ve heard triceratops is the most common dinosaur but I’m not sure.

Its an undescribed bone.  We dont assign ID based on statistics.

 

W. Stein census in the Hell Creek on individual bones.
