With no scale it is a little tough to figure how large it is...
It is a thoracic vertebrae and it is not from a marine mammal like a seal as it is not dense enough as witnessed by apparent porosity. The facet joint half in the first photo would link up with a rib.
Deer would be my first guess but that would change if it outside the size range.

Whatever it is, it was bang-flopped! Er...or maybe "twang-flopped".

It looks like part of a hip to me
There seems to be a lot of bone to just be a single vertabra
It's an awsome find though
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Clearly vertebral.

Is it a stone point or a modern broadhead?
If it's stone, that really is a find of historic proportions.
