I forgot to note that this is a pleistocene, Brazos River, Texas find. @Harry Pristis, @Uncle Siphuncle Thanks!

Gary, I'm seeing some of the same indicators you are regarding tortoise or turtle.  The striations in the bone near the broken ends and nature of the cross section density suggest your suspicion is correct.

Looks like a tortoise armpit to me, haha.

Right! I don’t think it’s just part of the plaster on. It’s almost like a scapular or some sort of paddle boneI don’t think it’s just part of the plaster on. It’s almost like a scapular or some sort of paddle bone

I agree w unclesiphuncle... armpit, or leg pit.  Basically where the plastron (or the 'plaster on') connects to the top of the shell.  A leg, either front or rear comes up in the angled portion.
