kinda looks like a deer hoof

Thats terrifying reminds me of a human left hand. But I doubt that, most likely an animal hoof.

yeah it looks like it washed up on the beach, but thats a stumper.

Its a deer hoof. Where is that beach at? Deer swim a lot, even in some ocean bays. The ferry boats in the San Francisco area hit deer all the time who are swimming back and forth to islands. The hoof in the picture is probably from one such deer, even if the beach is far from such an area, the hoof could have been carried by tides.

A deer hoof? With jointed bones? More likely the former flipper of the sort of mammal more commonly found swimming in oceans.
