A mystery from Kem Kem?

[FB003]

Going to be honest no info on this other than from Kem Kem. Honestly, though I’m not interested in buying it, I am interested enough in the strange shape to wonder what it is. Very much a long shot but figured I’d post it and see if anyone had a clue.

this one makes me think Tilly bone. 
 

but some of those repairs look backwards in orientation. Possibly even just flotsam and jetsam glued together..

Any chance it could be a chevron?

Fossilus,

Please explain that word, ... not necessarily just for my sake.

Could it be a vomer?

I'm actually rather convinced looking at this picture.  Seems likely.

Bone underneath vertebrae.

Another way to put it:

the haemal arch, as opposed to the neural arch on top of the vertebrae.

... under tail vertebrae only.

As explained, it is the bone found under the tail vertebrae of dinosaurs, other reptiles like crocodiles, some mammals like sloths (which are too young for Kem kem)

If memory serves me right ,Rahonavis has chevrons as well
