FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

I think this is the unfused epiphysis of a crocodilian vertebra (I actually don’t know how reptiles work with epiphyses), but could also be the epiphyses of a femoral head from some mammal.
I like the femoral head idea. It fits the shape and look.
Looks like a good fit with the size of the astragalus to be from the same animal if found at the same location. A cow or horse sized animal I would say.
@james-preston I agree with you Many fossils of this type of animal are found around here, an example of a giant sloth
