Struthiomimus Theropod Dinosaur Toe Bone from Hell Creek

Description: Struthiomimus is a genus of ornithomimid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous. It was a long-legged, ostrich-like dinosaur. The bipedal Struthiomimus stood about 4.3 metres (14 ft) long and 1.4 metres (4.6 ft) tall at the hips and weighed around 330 lbs. Struthiomimus is one of the more common small dinosaurs. Its abundance suggests that it was a herbivore or omnivore rather than a carnivore. As with other ornithomimids, it had a small slender head on a long neck (which made up about 40% of the length of the body in front of the hips). Its eyes were large and its jaws were toothless. Its feet were elongate, and the metatarsals were tightly appressed, with three toes tipped by claws with very slight curvature.
