Hi, have just seen this topic and I am sure that the bone you have is the distal end of an Anoplotherium latipes Humerus. I have a specimen identified by Jerry Hooker from the Natural History Museum in London and to my eyes yours is remarkably similar (although from the other leg). Would help with the ID if you could let me know where at Yarmouth/Boldnor you found the bone but I suspect that it would be nearer the Yarmouth end of the beach than Bouldnor. 

 

Have attached photos of my specimen for you to have a look at - what do you think? (for scale the length of the bone is 170mm and at the articulation is 95mm wide)

 

Cheers Martyn

Thank you so much for the information @MartynH

I do intend to get in touch with Jerry Hooker at some point but as yet I haven’t.

I have attached a map with the area of the beach that we found it circled in red

Hi

The map makes sense where you have identified is close to where another Anoplotherium was found. Not sure why some of my photos seem to be missing so have added to this post.
