Hi There - I came across this nice looking dino bone identified as "The top section of a pubis bone from a Dromaeosaurid." This bone was found in the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. It looks like a nice piece with minor repair, but I wanted to get some second opinions on whether this is a piece of a pubis bone, or possibly a chevron... or something else. I'm also curious if folks agree with the the ID of dromaeosaurid (unable to ID beyond the family).

What do you think? Thanks!

It definitely looks like a chevron to me, I don't see a fit with any pubis bones I've seen. Unfortunately I can't tell you if it's dromaeosaurid. 

 

For comparison, I recently posted this Edmontosaurus chevron:

That certainly looks similar. Thanks, I was thinking it looked more like a chevron as well! Given the size (~6.1 inches), I wouldn't think it's dromeosaurid.
