The Aptian–Albian Khok Kruat Formation is composed of sediments rich in dinosaur remains occur in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. Here, we report a distal part of right metatarsal III of an ornithomimosaur (NRRU-F01020052) found at the Ban Krok Duean Ha dinosaur locality in 2017. Notable characteristics of this specimen are the subtle mediolateral expansion, the almost triangular cross-section with an extremely narrow posterior plane in distal diaphysis, and the concave posterior surface neighboring to the distal condyle. The combination of these characters indicates that NRRU-F01020052 is attributable to an ornithomimosaur with an incomplete arctometatarsalian pes. This discovery indicates that Thailand had a great diversity of ornithomimosaurs in the early to late Early Cretaceous, corresponds to the Asian ornithomimosaurian diversity.
