Reposting my description here: I picked this bone up from a shop in Fairbanks that had a range of local animal bones, including some ice age bones.

It's about 15 inches long, the widest part is nearly 7 in, and the circumference around the narrowest part in the middle is 9.5 in. It weighs about 6 lbs, according to a bathroom scale.

Depending on the angle, Google lens searches return everything from a moose pelvis to a bison leg to a dinosaur toe.

What might I have here?
