@LordTrilobite already looked at it and he said it could be a pelvis fragment or a shoulder blade.

Yeah this is a weird bone. It seemed to be almost complete, with only a few areas that are mildly abraded. It's very asymmetrical and didn't seem to be very hollow. Though hard to tell at the moment it seemed like there might be a foramen in the shadow on the second photo. I still can't quite place it. But with such a weird shape I don't see what else it can be but possibly skull, shoulder girdle or hip girdle. And I would lean away from skull as it didn't seem to have clear sutures that I'd associate with that. But the area where you are holding the fossil did look like that attached to some other bones. But I'm by no means certain about an ID for this bone.

I think I may have found it. It seems to show some similarities with a croc coracoid. It seems to fit just a little better than a shoulder blade.

 

Here is an example of an Alligator shoulder girdle. The coracoid is labeled with 2.
