.65" Small Theropod (Raptor) Partial Phalynx - Hell Creek Formation
This is a partial phalanx, very likely of the dromaeosaurid Acheroraptor temertyorum, a small theropod dinosaur that is commonly referred to as a raptor. It's .65" long and comes from the Hell Creek Formation of Bowman County, North Dakota. This specimen is composed of the distal head of the phalanx where it articulated with the adjacent bone.
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.
