I agree. It looks like a peripheral bone of a sea turtle.

Not sure whether I'm using the correct term (not a turtle expert) but I'm referring to the bone on which the tip of the rib is 'inserted' (in that depression obvious on the photos you've sent). As for the species, I can't help.

I have stumbled across a peculiarly triangular shaped bone and I was wondering if anyone can help me identify it? I am thinking it may be from a sea turtle but unfortunately I do not have a reference specimen to compare it to. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5yjkqd--8abM240V1Qyb2J2T0U Any help would be greatly appreciated!
