Hi, 

 

I suspect I have a piece of vertebra of a mammoth?

It was found in the North Sea.

The dimensions are approximately 33 cm by 33 cm and 8 cm thick.

 

Would love to learn more about it!

Very nice!!  I suspect you are correct.  Looks like it compares fairly well to cervical vertebra 7 from the University of Michigan website.  https://umorf.ummp.lsa.umich.edu/wp/mammutidae2/

This U of M specimen is a Mammut americanum and there may be other species that are a better match.  I am not familiar with all the choices found in the North Sea
