Received in a box of mixed KemKem specimens

Got a new box of mixed KemKem material the other day; plenty of Spino, Carch, small theropod, croc, fish, and other usual suspects, but I can't put a name to this one. I'm fairly sure it's theropod, but since there is so little info available, it's hard to say which one. Anyone recognize this little fella? It's 32mm long by 21.5mm at the widest point; the grid squares are 1"/25.4mm. I can take additional pix if needed. Thanks!

Very interesting little phalanx. Definitely dinosaurian, but not from any theropod I recognize. It actually looks more like an ornithischian phalanx, but of course there aren't too many of those described from Kem Kem. Not to say it isn't theropod, it's just curious looking. You might have an oddity.

That's me, always ending up with the odd stuff... :DOH:

 

I'll look around some more. Appreciate it!
