Looks like some type of arthropod claw. The exoskeleton has leached away leaving a steinkern.

Possibly a pectoral spine of a Devonian aged fish. Bothriolepis remains have been found in Bolivia.

I don't believe in crab claws either. Tim is probably right. To me the piece seems so interesting that I would show the fossil to a local paleontologist.

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).
