Hi! I am an new member. I have been collection for awhile and just started on buying more valuable pieces. A friend adviced me to check this Pachy toe on the forum. The main question is: is it an composit or - as the seller told me - associated? 

 

Background information:

- Found in Garfield County (near the city of Jordan), Montana by the landowner.

- The bones were found in the same hillside (spilling down a little wash). No other Pachy material was found nearby

 

In one picture I  the small toe bone is removed (maybe this is the mix-up).

 

Hope you can help! Thanks in advance!

Claw looks more like Thescelosaurus and this phalanx looks too small to fit the rest of the digit.   Digit III has 4 bones including the Claw.  It's the only digit those two other bones can fit.
