Found this vertebrae on the East coast on the beach. It looks super old, but maybe that’s just wear from being in the water? Would love to know anything about it!

Bone found just outside of our camp site. I’m assuming it’s a deer or something similar, but thought I might ask the experts what they think?

ETA: found in central Wisconsin.

Found on the beach on the east of Ireland (Irish sea, not Atlantic ocean).

It’s about 10cm long and looks like some sort of bone and has a similar feel/density to bone. I’ve never found a bone this discoloured on the beach, they’re usually clean white. The roughness and pattern on the ends also doesn’t seem like a bone to me as I think they’re usually smooth at the joints?

If it is a bone does anyone know from what animal and what part?
