Isolated metatarsals III and IV of a caenagnathid theropod likely referable to Anzu wyliei are
described from a locality of the Hell Creek Formation in northwestern South Dakota, USA.
These bones are missing from the holotype and only partial shafts have been described for
a specimen referable to this species. Accordingly, the present description adds further
anatomical information on this already well-known species of Caenagnathidae. The present

Isolated metatarsals III and IV of a caenagnathid theropod likely referable to Anzu wyliei are described from a locality of the Hell Creek Formation in northwestern South Dakota, USA. These bones are missing from the holotype and only partial shafts have been described for a specimen referable to this species. Accordingly, the present description adds further anatomical information on this already well-known species of Caenagnathidae. The present finding also demonstrates the significance of isolated or fragmentary specimens found in multitaxic bone beds.
