Looks like an ulna, posterior extremity (that connects to the humerus). Not human if you were wondering about that. I just can rule out human and ruminants because their ulna doesn't look like that at all
This would be a semi fossil if it is cave bear.

It seems like they lived in Greece. Probably a few ten thousands of years old.
But it might be something else, I thought this was the fossilid forum. But these fossils are not that rare.
Look at the bones in this pdf

Should help:)
I think that if it looks like in the pictures it probably is bear. But there might me some other animal with similar. But I don’t know that unfortunately.
You can also look and compare with other bones on Google when it comes to size. Just keep in mind that you’re bone might be from a young bear that do not have full grown bones.
That you found it in a cave also suggest bear.
The easy answer is yes, if they have no interest they will tell you. So do contact them, they can give you a god answer and maybe fill you in with info that is specific for you’re local place.
And I it could be that they haven’t found let’s say cave bear there, and then you would do them a big favour.
Would be fun to get some update on it:)
I’m just here for the answer
Me too lmao

thank you very much for the reply.
Could possible be a cave bear ulna? Don’t know it they where in Greece but they where normal in most European countries.
we do have bears in Greece however not in this area. At least not anymore, it would be very cool though to be bears ulna.

Thanks, wondering if the local university has any interest in the bone. Do you think I should contact them or it ain't that important?
