It looks like part of a hip to me There seems to be a lot of bone to just be a single vertabra
Clearly vertebral. The vertabrae joins the hip

Is it a stone point or a modern broadhead?
If it's stone, that really is a find of historic proportions. its stone....looks like a light colored flint

My first thought was "paleolithic diskectomy".

Man,..that's a one chance in a million find. Would be cost prohibitive, but bet they could carbon 12 that bone...

Excuse me for not knowing how big Elk vertabrae are since we don't have them here Well, were it big or small it would be shaped the same... bet the ones off a squirrel might look similar but tiny.... Not to mention what were you using for scale? zoom lens will fool some folks.

The vertabrae joins the hip

Sheriden, I can't tell from looking at it, but give us a guesstimate as to how the arrow hit the animal. From which angle, and such.

Might not have been a fatal wound. Looks like the bone has re-grown around the point.

I agree it's worth a good bit; do not volunteer to let "scientists" examine it, or you may very well never see it again. They may well also want to excavate the rest of the area where it was found. I'd charge them for that, too!

Ummm ... that's interesting.
How old does that bone seem to be?
I wouldn't think a vertebra would last long enough in Washington for it to be very old. Makes me wonder who the f**k is running around up there still shooting flint arrows?
