I hope you find out because I have one too and don't know. It just seemed like the density was the same as turtle to me.

Found this a few days ago.
It is smooth on both ends, wonder if it is part of a joint, part of a leg bone or even a vertebrae.
I'm assuming turtle, since I find so much of turtle these days but I have also found horse, camel llama and a fragment of a mammoth tooth.

It appears to be the centrum of a vertebra. There's not anything diagnostic I can see, other than it's from a large mammal. Horse or camel would be a reasonable guess.
