This Fossil came from the south coast of Buenos Aires in Argentina. The zone was formed 10,000 years ago during the last ice age. (NOTE!) this is not my fossil

Clear pictures are Key to an ID. ;)

Why does it fall to you to provide an ID?

It appears to be bone. There is nothing that suggests glyphodont to me in any way,    The sharp projection makes me look for animals that have a fused tibia-fibula bone but there isn’t much here

In order to provide an ID we would need to see clear photos of an identifiable bone with genus or species-specific diagnostic characters.  It it not possible to identify each and every chunk of random bone fragment.  This particular specimen is recognizable as bone but otherwise has no diagnostic features.
