Mystery bone

[PM309]

I found this fairly sizable bone in a field in North Yorkshire U.K.

Its quite light in weight 

31cm Length

9cm width on the right

3cm Depth

Any idea of what animal or age it is

As a aside the field it was found in has had a bounty of Bronze /Iron age, roman finds

Looks like a recent, partial scapula bone.

Deer, cow, or horse seems likely.

 

If you hold it to a flame, and it burns/gives off a burning hair smell, it is likely recent. Give or take 100 years.

If it burns, but doesn't smell, could be a few hundred years old.

If it doesn't burn at all, it is likely a fossil.

Thanks might just do that
