I know this is not a fossil but...

Is this large joint bone a whale humerus? Or sea lion? Orcas, humpbacks, Stellars and California sea lions are common around here.

The shaft has been sawn off the epiphysis. A beach combing find on the shore of the north Salish sea.

Thanks.

It is really hard to tell when it is a small part like this. It is definitely a humorous of a aquatic or semi a aquatic mammal but I can't exactly tell what animal specifically. Cool Find!
