Bone Id Needed

I'm thinking rib of a rather big animal, rhino or mammoth?

However, comparing does not lead to results. What do you think?

It's heavily fossilized and from the Pleistocene of the North sea. Netherlands

Can you give a picture of the broken end, end on so we can see the cross section?

Two possibilities:

1. A proximal left femur, elephant - but a little too small maybe.

2 A rib head of an elephant - but maybe a little too big. The back side (thumbnail on the left) looks rib-like.

Forget that! Scale is cm not inches. Rib head, almost for certain. Of what I do not know.
