What kind of dinosaur's vertebra is this?

It's a theropod vertebrate fossil, and I'm curious what type of dinosaur it is exactly. Thank you

As far as I know, vertebra are not diagnostic to genus or species, and certainly not in this condition.   :unsure:

Wait for other opinions, however.

This looks like a tyrannosaur vert.  The first photo shows a nice pleurocoel and the internal honeycomb structure.

I agree. Tyrannosaur was my knee jerk reaction as well, but I wouldn’t stand by that.
