I found this in the banks of the Yukon River in Alaska yesterday. this spring it flooded and 20ish feet of riverbank was washed away. this was in the washed-out area. it seems to be hard like petrified. At first i thought it was part of an antler but asking around here people did not think it was from a moose because it was to flat and has a knob and not the right shape. so maybe another horned mammal or a bone. Any ideas? it is hard and cannot scratch it it is 7 inches long and 4 inches at the widest part

Mammoths and other large animals survived in the north much longer than previously believed. New DNA research indicates that the climate, not humans, led to the demise of these large creatures, Norway Science, January, 2022 The open access paper is: Wang, Y., Pedersen, M.W., Alsos, I.G., De Sanctis, B., Racimo, F., Prohaska, A., Coissac, E., Owens, H.L., Merkel, M.K.F., Fernandez-Guerra, A. and Rouillard, A.,2021. Late Quaternary dynamics of Arctic biota from ancient environmental genomics. Nature, 600(7887), pp.86-92. It concludes that mammoths survived in continental northeast Siberia until 7,300 BP; North America until 8,600 BP; and the Taimyr Peninsula as late as 3,900 BP. Yours, Paul H.
