What large bone does this belong to?

I’m fairly certain this is a piece off a large bone from a mammoth or mastodon. Can anyone recognize what bone it’s from? Pelvis??

Gary, the orientation is a little confusing.  Do you have other images?

To me, it has a sloth 'jiz'.

 I can see how it resembles a sloth tibia, but I only have one picture out of Kocsis’ book to compare to.

Thanks, Gary.  What do the 'ends' look like?

In this picture you can see what looks like the beginning of an articulation surface at the top and lower right

I am resurrecting this thread. I was just looking at this bone and for whatever reason tortoise popped into my head. Is there any chance this could be a tortoise humerus? @Harry Pristis
