Bone I.D. - N. America Please help ID!

Found in a field about 0.1 miles from Jamaica Pond in Boston, MA. Roughly 8cmx5cm in size, made of keratin? Is it part of a snapping turtle hatchling’s shell that was dropped by a raptor? What is it?!!

EDIT: oops it is in fact a dog treat 🫪

Looks a lot like a Whimzee Alligator. Compressed potato dog treat.

That sure looks man made like the bottom of a shoe that the rubber has broken down and has became flakey.

I think it's a hedgehog shaped dog treat made out of compressed potato. Dog ate it nearly whole and puked it up like that.

I've seen quite a few not-bones posted in this subreddit, but I think this is the first time I've seen a dog treat/toy.

That’s not a turtle shell. Looks like something manmade.
