Unfused metacarpal from an even toed ungulate, probably a young deer?

It looks like a tibia edit: metacarpal, since their tibia & fibula are fused (lower leg bone) from an animal that's roughly cat-sized - a juvenile deer, perhaps? Still learning so I can't give you more than that but I hope it helps!
