Who does this bone belong to?

I found this bone yesterday on matoaka beach, I'm wondering what it belonged to, or where in the skeleton it was. It has one concave side, so I'm guessing a joint somewhere. Miocene Choptank formation.

if more pictures are needed I can provide them.

I don't know if there is enough to make a positive id.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

I was afraid that would be the case. Surely it can be narrowed down at least a little with bone structure, right? Mammal? Reptile? Cetacean? If not I'll live with just bone on the label...

Maybe from someone with more knowledge than myself.
