It feels good to get back to river hunting, slightly early this year. My hunting friend found this bone and asked if I could get an ID. There seems to be some features that possibly identify the "type" of bone (humerus, scapel, etc) versus which animal.

It is 3.2 length x 1.1 height (inches).

Found in the Pleistocene - miocene mix that is the Peace River. However, most of the associated fossils were shark, fish or marine mammal (porpoise earbone & verts), so marine is a possibility.

ALL comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Jack

It's a proximal ulna fragment.  Here are some examples:

Thanks Harry,

It seemed familiar.  Years ago, I found a complete Palaeolama Mirifica Ulna but could not relate the two.
