It's old, petrified and about the size of my leg bone but I think there's a little too much curve in it to be a leg bone. Any ideas?

That looks a lot like an Oosik, which is the native word for a walrus penis. The best picture is on ebay. Go to ebay and type in oosik.

It's either a Neanderthal ulna, or the bone from an arthritic modern man, or from a Gorilla. Or it could be a dead eel.
Just kidding.
Poor photo. Have you got a photo which is straight on, and better lit?

That's one odd-looking bone. A better photo - straight down from the top - might help, and put something near it to let us estimate the size.

It looks like a fibula but the pic is at a very bad angle.
