Tthis item was found on a South Hutchinson Island beach.  I named it Dumbo.  I think you'll see why.  

 

From ear tip to ear tip, it measure about 1.7 cm.  From the bottom to top of the head it also measure about 1.7 cm.  The trunk is broken, but from tip of the current trunk to the back of the head is about 1 cm.

 

Here are the photos.  Thanks for all the help.

Could it be a small pelvis bone? I don't know its really just a guess.

It is a Sacrum.  Here is one for a deer (much larger bone)...

Basically, you have to find photos of Sacrums on the Internet, then compare the size of yours to the size of the animal.
