estate Sale - Hell Creek Theropod

[Seanrad09]

First post, but frequent follower of the page. I just came across a toe bone from an estate sale. It looks Hell Creek by the bone material and by what else was in the collection. It is definitely theropod. Would any of you be able to ID this? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

Looks like an Ornithomimid toe bone.  Most likely Struthiomimus  Digit IV, Phalanx 1

It does indeed look like a theropod toe. I wouldn't know for sure beyond that, so I'll defer to Troodon's expertise.

I agree with ole troodon.  Hell Creek or Lance or some other western Cretaceous dino deposit.

Probably a hell creek ornithomimus cast

It's very real, little reason to cast an isolated toe bone.
