2.65" Fossil Ornithomimid Dinosaur Pes Phalanx - Montana
This is a beautifully preserved pes phalanx (foot) bone from an ornithomimid theropod dinosaur, collected from the Hell Creek Formation in Custer County, Montana. There are multiple ornithomimid dinosaurs that come out of the Hell Creek Formation and it can be difficult to distinguish species from an isolated bone such as this.
The bone measures 2.65" long and is free of repair/restoration. It was collected by Bryan Clark in April, 2015.

The Hell Creek Formation
Renowned for both its age and rich sedimentary layers, the Hell Creek Formation is one of the most intensively studied fossil-bearing regions on Earth. To date, scientists have documented 158 genera of animals and 64 genera of plants from its rocks, with new finds emerging regularly. Beyond iconic dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurs, ceratopsians, and hadrosaurs, the formation has produced an extraordinary array of life, including amphibians, reptiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, fish, sharks, birds, and early mammals. Together, these fossils provide the most complete picture of the ecosystems that thrived just before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
