Bones this size come from only a few possibilities in my hunting areas (Florida). Some sort of large elephant ancestor or whale.  In your part of the country, you might have to toss dinosaurs in as a candidate.

I wonder if the details in the porous bone might differentiate between marine and land mammal.

not sure but I do know for a fact that marine fossils have evidence of boring clam holes, tubeworms, oyster scars, barnacles. etc. Thank you for looking

I think whale or other cetecean is a possibility.

Ah, I did not see that, though I saw in a separate thread someone speculating they were from the vicinity of Earp, CA. The closest marine mammal localities I know of are Cajon Pass and the Imperial Group west of the Salton Sea.
