I can not tell:

You require a much clearer photo and please state the length of the bone .. Why should I have to calculate the number of 80 mm rulers that makes up the length when you can measure the bone...

 

Here is a possibility... Femur but I would not be surprised if it turns out to be something else...The

I may have a large rib articulation that could be used as comparison.  I'll have to look.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a proboscidean rib, but I agree that pictures, especially views head-on looking at the ends of both sides of the bone, would be most helpful.
