Bone identification, please?

Found this bone on the Chesapeake today. Perhaps a shoulder bone? Not sure of what it's from or what it is. Part of it has a smooth, indented shape, like a socket joint. Thank you for any assistance!

I hate to say it, but it reminds me of a pork chop bone.

Does the flat surface look sawn?

the ends don't appear to be sawn. I have a couple of fossilized vertebrae, but haven't seen anything like this before. I've been finding some larger pieces lately, perhaps due to the rains and storms.
