Hello. This came out of Florida. I believe it is a mammoth or mastodon scapula. Could it be pelvis bone? Your thoughts? Thank you

Could be whale. Let's wait for a few others to chime in. @Shellseeker

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

There are not enough defining features for me to feel confident in an ID other than large mammal bone.

I think that your first thought is more likely than any other possibilities. Large, thin, curved bones tend to be scapula of large mammals.. I do not have enough experience with pelvic bones to have a view.   Jack
