Hi everyone, does anyone know this bone, sold as a mammoth bone? It is more like a bison or bovine bone. Provenance: North Europe

This stuff is not my forte but I’ll add this photo to help the conversation. @fossilus Suggested the process of a mammoth vertebrae. Seems like a decent guess but I know nothing about mammoths/mastodons. I’ll let someone more knowledgeable make the call.
