Hell Creek SD claws and toes

The first two pictures I think are struthiomimus, although I'm not entirely sure if that toe bone matches up to it or not.  They were found together though.  The claw is about 2" long, the toe bone is about 1.25".

 

The third and fourth pictures, I think is either struthiomimus as well, or raptor, but I don't know which.  It is just under 2" long.

 

The last picture of the tiny metatarsal or metacarpal, I have no idea.

I'm gonna go with Thescelosaurus (or possibly pachycephalosaurus) for the associated toe and ungual, but I would agree the second fossil is an ornithomimid hand claw due to the slight curvature. I got nothing for the last one other than possibly theropod.

Your top Claw is from an Ornithomimid most likely from a Struthiomimus 

 

Are these photos of the same specimen and what size is it?

Your last specimen is a toe bone but need better photos to see if it can be identified

Yep, those two pictures are of the same claw.  It is about 2" long. 

 

I'll get some better photos of the toe bone.
