Hello All,
 
Can anyone enlighten me as to what this bone is? It has come from a male large dog/wolf burial. I had originally thought it was associated with the baculum, which is also present, but now think this is unlikely. Could it be part of the sternum? I have another one from a second large canid burial from the same pit, also with a baculum present.

Many thanks in advance.
