Medium Mystery bone

Recommended Posts

Hello I’m posting this for my dad, he bought this piece years ago and he’s having trouble remembering what it is. He says he thinks he got a pig bone ( maybe a hell pig), I’ve also been told it could be a turtle from a friend? It has some nice transition colours and could be a leg or arm bone? Any help would be appreciated thanks!

It's a dugongid humerus.  The one in my images is exceptional robust.

[edit] Rather than a dugongid, it may be a manatee humerus, similar but not the same.
