3.25" Theropod (Raptor) Finger Bone - Montana
This is an incredible 3.25" long theropod (raptor) dinosaur distal phalange (finger bone), collected from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana. This bone would have articulated with the claw of a raptor-like theropod. Due to the similarities between these bones of dromaeosaurids and ornithomimids of the Hell Creek Formation, it's difficult to accurately provide a genus to an isolated bone such as this.
There is a repaired crack that runs along the length of this bone, with gap fill restoration in spots where the bone fragments weren't recovered. Most of the restoration can be found along the left side of the bone, with some continuing across the ventral side of the bone and into the proximal point of articulation.

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.
