I think we can't. I have more evidence to go, others seem to be stuck on making diversionary posts.

Of course the link was in the paper that you two didn't read.
The correct answer is even free online:
[www.nature.com]
"Possible signs of tool-mediated bone breakage, including a fractured femoral bone and separated, fractured ends of the femur known as femoral heads, could indicate activity by ancient humans. Scale bar, 10 centimetres. Image: R. A. Cerutti/San Diego Nat. Hist. Mus."

Keywords: femoral heads
To laypeople, that means femur heads

Anyone following this thread may want to take a good look at this item, SKU: OK-7096 , Skulls Unlimited will remove the three photos after the femur ball is sold.

"we" have to determine if this rare specimen was broken by hominims, other causes like heavy equipment, or did the animal get stuck in the mud as Demure admitted in his 1995 paper.

[www.latimes.com]
"In his final report completed in 1995, Deméré hedged. He wrote that the spiral fractures in the femurs could have been produced “by human activity” or by simple “torsion caused by twisting,” what a panicked animal might do if its foot were sunk in mud."

Those who want to bail out of the "Re: Observations Concerning the Cerutti Mastodon Site" can... certainly their privilege to do so.

It's possible someone may come up with better evidence than a emoticon.
