Compare to *Chirostenotes sp.* in Currie, Godfrey, and Nessov, 1993.
A really robust caenagnathid jaw, about as long as *Chirostenotes
pergracilis* (Sternberg, 1940) NMC 8667, the type for *Caenagnathus
collinsi*, but far deeper; also from the Hell Creek Formation,
Montana? [I don't have my ref with me right now, but it is USA].
