The person who alerted authorities was walking along the beach, about 40 kilometres south of Adelaide, on Tuesday night when they saw the bone.

It has since been identified as potentially being a human bone, with further forensic testing being conducted.

Search crews are scouring the beach for any other bones or signs of human remains.
