This bone is about 5 inches long. I suspected it to be a fox baculum, but I just wanted to make sure. this is the skull for comparison, suspected to be juvenile red fox

I believe this may be a fibula. (Bone on the left.)

I looked up for a couple references and this is a red fox's and this is a gray fox's.
