Large dinosaur bone- femur? radius?

Found this in Glendive, Hell Creek formation. The ranch most commonly produces triceratops and hadrosaur, but when I looked at skeletons in a museum I couldn't seem to find a match. The first picture shows what appears to be a ball (part of a socket?) on the top back end of the bone. 

 

Any idea? Sorry the pictures aren't very descriptive- I'm a college kid and had to leave the bone at home. I didn't have the time to prep it:(

I didn't, but it's probably around 3.5 feet. When I prep it I'll take some measurements^_^. 

 

It was apparently one of the better preserved bones that's come out of that ranch. Roots were growing around it, but for some reason didn't dig into it.
