Found this bone part in Sweden and can’t for the life of me identify it.

Found this bone part I’m working on putting together, and I have absolutely no clue what it might be from. It’s proving very hard to piece together, but it might be easier if I know what it’s supposed to be. I’m probably missing some of the pieces. 
Thanks for any help!

Been there, done that.  Nice find by the way!  Some people say that jigsaw puzzles are hard... they haven't tried to piece together a bone in a few dozen pieces! :DOH:

Oof tell me about it, currently working on a 40cm plesiosaur femur. It’s 5 big parts 20-30 medium and 200+ small pieces. Just the cleaning process is taking forever.

Woah!  Sounds like quite the project.

Thanks! So is it most likely to be part of the shell or a turtle bone?

 Looks like a piece of the carapace. If you can get some of the pieces glued together, we might be able to figure out a more precise identification.
