Mammoth vertebra?

Recommended Posts

I've been watching this vertebra on our favorite auction site and am not quite sure if it's from a mammoth, and neither is the seller, since he's placed a question mark along with it. Could someone more knowledgeable than myself please confirm or deny this? I'm thinking that it may be from some other kind of animal. I'm afraid there's only one photo. It measures 11.5 x 11.3 x 10.5cm.

It's a cervical vertebra, probably bovid. Here's a more clear photo:

Thanks. That's the one. I thought it didn't look quite right.
