Not sure how you could deduce which animal this chunkosaurus came from, but it is a rather nice chunk of bone.

“...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin

Happy hunting,

Honeycomb structure does indicate a carnivorous dinosaur.  However Limb bones on theropods are typically hollow.  Do you have a locality of where this was found.

The seller said it was a partial piece of a limb but the only information I was provided was that it was found on private land from the Hell Creek Formation of eastern Montana.

With that locality could be a tyrannosaurid.   Might be a fragment of the side a limb bone, hard to say nothing diagnostic visible.
