Phalanx bone ID needed. Raptor?

[DatFossilBoy]

Hey guys.

I recently acquired this nice  phalanx bone but I don’t know what it could be from...

Originally was thinking raptor ( dromaeosaurid ) but I’m not sure. Any ideas?

35 mm, Kem Kem, Morocco.

Thank you for the input .

Looks like a nice indeterminate theropod phalanx.  Isolated theropod  toe bones are extremely hard to ID even in the best of cases and in the Kem Kem where hardly anything is published nothing can be said who it belongs to.  We still do not have validation that a Dromaeosaurid / raptor is present in that fauna.

Thank you very much.

Didn’t know no Dromaeosauridae were not present.

Well there are isolated teeth suggest they might be but no publication or paleontologist has yet to claim they are present.  One publication call them "Dromaeosaurid like" .  My money says they are there but it will take more discoveries and research to validate that claim, hopefully its already well in progress.
