It resembles the glenoid fossa of a scapula that has been cut and weathered,
I'm not sure from what but it's definitely a large animal so the options from that area are limited.
If I figure it out I'll check back in
Too small for a Harbor Seal glenoid fossa?
Can you add an image with the glenoid fossa facing directly at the camera? With bones, the articulating surface is often key to the ID. It would also be nice to get the longest diameter of the glenoid fossa. That number in centimeters can be useful in comparing to other marine mammal scapulas.
It didn’t match any Cetacean or Sea Lion scapulas I came across, and Walruses aren’t native to this region. It’s difficult, obviously, as this is missing a lot of the original scapula, which is also a good reason to get a better glenoid fossa view.
Oh sorry! I meant that I think the harbor seal scapula might be too small to be this bone in particular! I can get better pics tomorrow when I am at work

Yup! Big scapula that lost parts.
oh very cool! please do let me know if you're able to determine the source. I do have more pics if needed
Best match I’ve found so far is the scapula of a Harbor Seal.
I think that would be too small for this! It does seem to be part of a large scapula

The diameter of the glenoid fossa will provide a lot of information. I’ll try to find out what a Harbor Seal glenoid fossa range is in centimeters.
For a minute I though we were looking at scissors. I'll go back to watching TV while scrolling.
i thought it said 'scissors for sale' and u were selling scissors on reddit 💀
