very seldom i find bone as it seems the sand here in texas eats it up! found this about 5-6 ft deep. any help in i.d. would be great.

Something for scale would help my guess would be a cervical vertebrae from a whitetail

It's about the right size to be human. Likely a deer though. Very well I preserved. I rarely find bones over 1000 years old
