Picked up on beach along with numerous whale verts and bones.

 

Very dense & heavy, with defined (yet worn) ends.

 

Closest match I could find is a dolphin humerus...

 

Any ideas are welcome.

You're doing it wrong.  You have to listen to them under water.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
