Likely modern, and not a fossil. Put a lighter to the end and if it sinks, that suggests the presence of collagen and thus a modern bone.

To narrow it down a little bit more, of the animals that do have so called cannonbones, its not a horse, leaving only Artiodactyla, even toed ungulates like bovids, deer and kin. The articulating surface as well as the bones cavity show the longitudinal division between the two digits this bone evolved from.
