Maybe a worm vert, but any guess is probably just that, a guess with how worn it is.

Happy hunting,

I think that hole is the lumen of the bone, too big for the passage of a vessel for me.

Vessels and nerves. The opening in the moose jaw I have measures 1.5 cm. Cetaceans are much larger.

Looks like the back end of a small baleen whale mandible, with the mandibular foramen exposed.

Yes ! I thought maybe.

The size at it's opening is actually an adaptation to hearing in water if I remember correctly.
