I'm interested in this rib end from the Hell Creek formation of South Dakota and was wondering if there was any way to identify the species.

I've compared it to several large species that were native to the area and in my opinion, this piece compares very well with tyrannosaurus. Then again I'm no expert and would very much appreciate a second opinion.

 

I've included examples of ribs from each species I compared it to.

Probably not, unless it was found with other associated material. Would just be an educated guess based on the size.
