This is a very well-preserved theropod toe bone from an unknown species. Short and stout, this was likely a more distal phalanx. Probably identifiable by someone who wants to take up the challenge of discovering the ID.
This toe bone is 100% original with no restoration or filling. It has been stabilized.
Theropoda, whose members are known as theropods, is a surviving dinosaur clade that is characterized by hollow bones and three toes and claws on each limb. Theropods are generally classed as a group of saurischian dinosaurs.
